Current research provides little evidence for the effectiveness of treatment in reducing sexual offence recidivism amongst low-risk populations. However, in real-world correctional settings, program delivery rarely occurs in a vacuum, treatment may be politically mandated and unidimensional measures of program success may preclude recognition of broader benefits. The current study investigated the effectiveness of a low-intensity treatment program, both in terms of participants' recidivism outcomes and in terms of broader organizational/systems impacts. The results demonstrated low base rate recidivism across both program participants (n = 311) and a comparison group of men who were assessed as demonstrating similar static sexual offence recidivism risk (n = 391), and little evidence of reduced recidivism following treatment. However, program administration led to many potential participants being identified as demonstrating higher levels of dynamic risk and overridden to more intensive treatment options (n = 101). Given evidence that such options do effectively reduce recidivism in higher risk populations, these findings may suggest an overall positive net effect.

In this study, based on the analysis of statistical data on crime in Russia and federal districts, the features of recidivism in different regions are revealed. Differences are shown in the level and structure of recidivism, in the proportion and composition of persons who have previously committed crimes. The highest number of relapses is registered in the Volga, Central and Siberian federal districts. The highest recidivism rate per 100,000 people is observed in the Far Eastern Federal District. High intensity of recidivism is observed in those regions where an increased level of general crime is recorded. In regions with a relatively low level of recidivism in the composition of persons who have previously committed crimes, a greater proportion are those previously convicted and recognized as having committed crimes upon relapse. The structure of recidivism in the Northwestern and Far Eastern districts is characterized by increased danger due to the significant prevalence of serious and especially serious crimes in it. The article also shows the specifics of the structure of recidivism in different districts by type of crime.

This article holds that the legal concept of recidivism must be based upon the following guidelines: times, intention and intervals. Each element of the concept of recidivism should reveal the dangerousness of the recidivist. And dangerousness should not be included in the concept of recidivism.

The problem of repeated criminal offence is a social problem which puzzles all the countries in the world. In China,though 1997 Criminal Law prolongs the period of recidivism from 3 years to 5 years,the recidivism rate is still on the rising way. It is necessary for us to review the causes of recidivism from multi-positions and lends,so as to improve the prevention and controlling measures.

This study reports on the results of a review and meta-analysis of 63 data sets that examine sexual recidivism among juvenile sex offenders. The studies include a total of 11,219 juvenile sex offenders, followed for a weighted mean of 59.4 months ( SD = 36.1 months). Recidivism is identified through official records of arrest or conviction. The weighted mean sexual recidivism rate is 7.08% ( SD = 3.9%). The weighted mean rate of general recidivism is 43.4% ( SD = 18.9%). Studies that examine sexual recidivism during adolescence find monthly sexual recidivism rates that are more than 4 times higher than those found in studies that rely only on adult recidivism records. Neither the level of secured placement (community, residential, or secured custody) nor the use of arrest versus conviction as an outcome significantly influences sexual recidivism rates.

Abstract Previous research on the rates of juvenile re‐offending have been found to be as high as 66% when measuring recidivism by rearrest and as high as 33% when measuring re‐offending by reconvictions within one to three years of release. However, accurately estimating a national juvenile recidivism rate is problematic. This is even more complicated when attempting to determine recidivism for delinquency prevention programs. One of the oldest, and perhaps most successful of these programs, is the Oakland County (Michigan) Youth Assistance Program (OCYA), which began in 1953. The present paper is an attempt to quantify the recidivism rate for youngsters referred to OCYA in a different sample. This study drew on the entire OCYA database from 2004 to 2014 with a random sample of 1540 cases selected. Demographic information of the selected youths, their number of caseworker contacts, the type of offense, and their recidivism record were evaluated using SPSS statistical software. Results showed a relatively low recidivism rate, but participation in OCYA face‐to‐face caseworker contacts or auxiliary programs had no predictive value in forecasting recidivism.

This chapter evaluates sexual offender recidivism. Recidivism in sexual offenders is critical for two reasons. The first reason is that based on studies of recidivism, risk assessment instruments are used to predict future recidivism. Second, recidivism is used as a measure of treatment outcome and rehabilitation of the sexual offender. The understanding of sexual offense recidivism is vital for anyone who is engaged in the assessment and treatment of sexual offenders. In more recent years, the focus on sexual offense recidivism appropriately has been directed by the impact on individuals of their victimization by sexual offenders. All of this supports efforts on treatment and rehabilitation to reduce recidivism. When considering sexual offense recidivism and treatment outcome studies from an empirical standpoint, there are some critical considerations to evaluate. There is a consensus that sexual offenses are underreported, and this may affect the statistical estimates in recidivism and treatment outcome studies. To compensate for underreporting, the definition of an act of recidivism includes rearrest as well as reconviction.
