"Rose, a sociologist at New York's John Jay College of Criminal Justice, found that in high-crime Tallahassee neighborhoods that were otherwise comparable, crime reductions were lower in those with the greatest number of people moving in and out of prison."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Maybe it's the large number moving out of prison that's the problem.

I find the thesis of the article questionable; do they really think that men who commit crimes are good role models?
