they do. It is also important to understand the different types of treatments offered to sexual offenders, and if it reduces any risks of recidivism. This research paper will demonstrate ten different articles with ten very different analysis as to why sexual offenders offend, and what kind of treatment can be offered in order to reduce the chance of recidivism. Types of sexual offenders In order to fully understand this paper we first have to identify, and explain each typology of sexual offenders

who has been convicted of a sex crime. Crimes that are considered sex crime include but not limit: rape, sexual assault, child pornography, child molestation, and prostitution. The recidivism of sexual offenders is on average about 14% within the five years after the first time they commit a sex crime (Tillman). Recidivism is when a person repeats the same behavior after they have had negative consequences due to that behavior. Couple of days ago I received an e-mail that was titled “Assistance in

started operating in the United States 20 years ago. In a time of limited resources for local and state budgets, drug courts offer a cost effective way to increase the chances for the nonviolent offender to achieve sustained recovery, thereby reducing recidivism for the offender. The drug court movement began in the 1980s as a response to the growing number of drug cases brought before the court. Law enforcement and corrections agencies policies alone were not having the effect on the drug trade that

The researcher hypothesis was not supported in the bivariate nor the multivariate analyses. Probationary and drug use outcomes were in the opposite direction from that theorized, and none of the five measures of recidivism demonstrated a significant effect of DYT. In addition, the researchers’ findings were consistent with the experimental replication of the HOPE program because there was no differences in arrests, revocations, or convictions between HOPE participants and individuals receiving standard

about what type of instruments are being used to measure crime in the United States, including the nation’s top two major crime programs and the purpose of these programs. I will also explain what are crime rates, arrest rates, clearance rates, recidivism rate and how these rates can be deceiving, and briefly touching on the relation between crime rate and arrest rates, and how to improve the correlation between crime rates and arrest rates and concluding this paper with a solution in effort to combating

There is no doubt incarceration is to reduce crime; but is giving longer prison sentences the best course to reduce crime? In recent years, many argue there are better alternatives. Before reaching my own verdict, both views are to be discussed. The first field upon which people argue is the effectiveness of lengthening imprisonment. Retributivists argue that longer incarceration deters people from committing crimes (the 'chastening' effect). Harsher punishment is said to prevent offence in the

In Compas Classification, there is an automated

Effectiveness of Incarceration Incarceration is ineffective in achieving its main goals of deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation and restoration because of prisonization and recidivism. Imprisonment focuses on eventually re-integrating people who have committed a crime into society by segregating them from society and forcing them to follow strict rules and regulations; completely restricting their rights and freedoms. This treatment is more effective in retribution rather than it is for the

you actually achieved something. We all like that feeling of having done something that has made an impact on someone, or has made an important contribution in some way. Recidivism is the rate at which offenders return to prison. Typically, this is measured over a three-year period, post-incarceration. In Utah the recidivism rate is about forty three percent. More than half of the offenders on probation and parole are for drug offenses. Drug offenses have increased over eighty percent in the
