New Delhi, Sep 10 (ANI): A recent study found that being convicted of a crime not only affects one's mental health but also physical health. For this study from North Carolina State University, Fernandes looked at data from a nationally representative sample of about 9,000 young people who participated in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, focusing specifically on data submitted between 1999 and 2010. The study participants were between the ages of 18 and 32, reported the study published in the journal 'Social Currents'. Specifically, Fernandes evaluated self-reported physical and mental health assessments to determine whether there was a change in reported health status associated with justice system contact. He looked at four types of contact for study participants: being arrested; being charged; being convicted, and being sentenced to jail time. People reported an increase in depression and stress across the continuum of contact, from arrest to jail time.
