Title: Chilling Effects: Diminished political participation among romantic partners of formerly incarcerated men Summary: Over the past four decades, the criminal justice system has emerged as a key institution structuring social, economic, and political inequalities in the United States. The political dampening of ex-offenders resulting from legal and non-legal barriers has likely altered election outcomes and has critical implications for our democratic principles; yet, the focus on individuals may underestimate the reverberating consequences of diminished political participation. In this paper, I propose that criminal justice contact, and specifically incarceration, diminishes political behavior among not only formerly incarcerated individuals but also their romantic partners. To examine this, I use data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing survey. I find that partner incarceration is associated with reduced political participation that is not explained by socioeconomic characteristics and is robust to different modeling approaches. Diminished participation is not fully explained by partner's political participation nor is it one aspect of broader withdrawal from spheres of civic and religious participation. Rather, reduced participation appears to be the product of political socialization processes, specific to retreat from government, that result from partner's criminal justice involvement.
