The potential sources of the polarization observed in Congress have been attributed to a variety of factors. In this paper, I seek to more directly link patterns of polarization in the U.S. House to underlying changes in representatives’ constituencies resulting from redistricting.

Criminal records follow individuals throughout their life, especially when looking for employment and apartments, which can lead to no job callbacks and denial of housing. Prison is an important topic today, especially with citizens calling for prison reform due to police using excessive force towards unarmed African-American men.
