Q

Repeat offending:
1) What is Recidivism + Stat
2) Example of an increased prison sentence
3) Who is likely to re-offend
4) How does Prison link to right realism?

A

1) Recidivism = repeat offending, 48% within 1yr, 64% within 2yrs
2) Example of increased prison sentence = in 2003 murder was minimum 12.5 years whereas now it is 20years
3) Groups of people more likely to re-offend = re-offenders, those who have served prison time, males, homelessness + addicts
4) Offenders act rationally when committing crime, so it acts as a deterrent – challenged by high re-offending rates
