Criminology


Recidivism, or a criminal offender’s tendency to reoffend, is an important issue for criminologists. Select one criminological theory and A) explain why convicted felons who are returning to their communities would be likely to recidivate, being sure to explain why the factors included in the theory specifically influence offenders, and B) using the same theory and its concepts, discuss a policy or program you could propose to reduce recidivism.
