Repeat Offender statistics are scary!

Basically, the study finds that 44% of 1st time offenders will return to criminal activity in 1 year, 34% in 3 years, and 24% in 9 years.
And their is a push to reduce prison/jail inventories! WTF!
I say we should increase police hiring and training, and keep building prisons/jails until supply exceeds demand....keep lifetime criminals out of society.
In fact, if George Floyd was kept in jail where he belonged, his story would be unknown.
We owe it to ourselves to keep this country as safe as possible!

The revolving door problem is caused by judges and District Attorneys in areas dominated by leftist politicians.

Criminals are given plenty of second, third, fourth chances despite what some will argue.

What about the 56%? I’m all about making it about violent crime.

What kind of stupid sentence is this?

The solution isn't more prisons, it's fewer laws.
We already have more people incarcerated than any nation in history.

With the exception of some serious crimes its pretty hard to get into prison in first place.
Some states you can have a ten page booking sheet before they ship you off to prison.
Not really surprising those that have likely committed lots of crime continue to commit lots of crime

Most of them are probably petty drug offenders. End the war on drugs and this statistic changes drastically I bet.

It is true. And the only reason he was out was because he committed his crime in a high crime area with an overloaded court system and a DA who was just looking to clear cases. Five years for armed robbery home invasion? That's offensive.
Meanwhile, in another state, in an area with low crime, a guy with no prior record got 75 years for the same damn crime.
The biggest victim in the George Floyd story is the pregnant woman who he and his friends assaulted and robbed in her own home. She got screwed.

We have so many criminal laws on the books that literally every American citizen breaks laws in their lifetime, and you're scared by statistics that show that many of the people who are convicted for breaking one of those laws gets arrested for breaking another one?
Democracy is a terrible form of government.

So 102% of criminals will repeat offend?

We need for cops to shoot more people to fix the repeat offender problem
A new tv costs like 300 bucks, a new criminal is free

Sounds like a rounding error.

I have said throughout 2020 we do not have an over-policing problem, we have an under-incarceration problem.
Criminals need to be penalized more harshly in the USA. This study supports that idea very strongly. We are morphing into a country of soft, weak, petulant children who refuse to accept responsibility for their actions and expect participation trophies and equal outcomes no matter what choices they make.

Police arrest people at a rate that the rest of the criminal justice system can’t keep up with. Actual reform should focus on making the courts more efficient and greatly improving community corrections (Probation and Parole). That would include actually funding treatment to include substance abuse and mental health services. Your typical offender is part of the underserved by these scarce resources. It leads to much higher recidivism rates.

At least around here its ridiculously hard to end up in prison for "petty drug offences".
They will give people deferred adjudication multiple times, treatment in-lieu of convictions, reduce felonies to misdemeanors multiple times.
Most people in prison for petty drug offenses around here are in prison because they committed something like an armed robbery while also having a couple grams of cocaine on them

It is never that simple. We have an outdated criminal code in regards to drugs, particularly marijuana. And we have a serious problem with no true sentencing standard from state to state and jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
It is all about who is locked up for what, not the overall number.

Think about this: 44% GET CAUGHT engaging in criminal activity within 1 year. The actual number engaging in criminal activity is probably a lot higher.

I mean, take recent happenings in Oregon for example. You had a guy arrested trying to start a wildfire. He was given no cash bail and released. Hours later, he tried to set three more fires and was arrested again.

Have you not committed *any* criminal activity in your lifetime? None?
