Abstract
Justice-involved youth face many barriers when reintegrating into the community. The present study finds supporting evidence that civic engagement, measured by voting in an election, is associated with better employment outcomes for justice-involved young adults. Thus, it is important to foster civic engagement when designing interventions for community reintegration
