Recidivism rates depend on multiple factors and are likely to be underestimated since many offenses are not detected. Increased knowledge supported by more research will grow our power to prevent child sexual and respond with excellence when it does occur....
I examine the effect of increased community supervision on offenders' recidivism rates. • I use a large sample from an entire state that used a risk assessment instrument in order to assign supervision levels to offenders. • I use a regression discontinuity design to identify the treatment ...
Rearrest rates were also correlated with Gender, Race/Ethnicity, and Education Level: Rates were significantly higher for offenders arrested for state crimes versus federal crimes, according tothis reportfrom the Bureau of Justice Statistics: The type of crime committed is also correlated with recidiv...
The current study compared criminal histories and recidivism rates between psychopathy subtypes differing in NA (high-NA vs. low-NA) within a sample of adult males incarcerated in state prisons. The high-NA and low-NA psychopathy subtypes did not differ on histories of total, nonviolent, or ...
The Governor recently announced plans to launch a new "California Model" of incarceration, created in the image of the Norway model. Does that mean California will fundamentally shift toward offering programming run exclusively by CBOs to lower recidivism rates?
The cumulative survival rates indicated that 649 users of Schedule I and II drugs recharged by prosecutors within five years of completing their DPCCAT treatments; their five-year cumulative survival rate was 48 percent, indicating a recidivism risk of 52 percent. Among the heterogeneous group of ...
This chapter focuses on the application of algorithmic instruments, based on computational modelling and AI solutions, to foresee the defendants' future behaviour, not only at the correctional stage but, in particular, at bail and sentencing. As pointed out in the previous chapter, this is one of...
Whilst recidivism rates are not reported for women, the proportion of women in prison who have a prior imprisonment is reported which shows that roughly half (48%) of women in prison have been previously imprisoned [11]. New South Wales (NSW), the most populous State in Australia, housed ...
