Criminal Justice System offenders

The Society for Organizational Learning is currently applying for a grant for an action learning study to bring sustainable business enterprise to communities experiencing high rates of prisoner returns on the assumption that lack of gainful employment opportunities leads to continued criminal activity. The principal investigator is Alan Mobley at San Diego State University.
From much work in this field, we know a great deal about the complexity of urban dynamics. My reading of this literature in detail is not current, so I am not remembering whether anyone has specifically addressed the question of prisoner returns/recidivism as it relates to other neighborhood dynamics. Law enforcement policies are of specific interest, particularly connected to neighborhood policing that did not exist when early urban dynanmics work was done. Can anyone suggest papers they have written or work they are currently doing in this area (or other references you particularly like)?
Those working on this project would like to engage the local communities who will participate in this study in a diagnosis of their current dynamics. I think it would be helpful to share some prior work, rather than starting from scratch.
I'll assume these as basic references.
