Sophia Nobile
Mentor: Robert D. McCrie
Sophia Nobile is a Macaulay Honors College student at John Jay College, pursuing dual degrees in security management and police studies. Guided by a commitment to second chances and justice reform beyond punishment, she researches employment readiness and recidivism.
​
Her current project examines how employment preparation affects recidivism among individuals incarcerated for burglary in New York State. Using a survey to collect data from correctional facilities, she aims to better understand perspectives on job prospects post-release and contribute to more effective support systems that break the cycle of incarceration.
