Recidivism
|
|
 In 2008, the Criminal Justice platform identified the subject of “recidivism” as a matter of prime concern.
After examination of the national legislation with regard to re-offending and after an exchange of views on existing
research in the field, the platform identified a need for data collection and evidence on re-offending as an argument
against imprisonment.
The platform has explored the links between crime and drug-use and compared data on “acquisitive” crime, i.e. all crimes feeding the drug habit. The work is still under way. |
