About 9% of people that have been convicted for a crime previously commit roughly half of all recorded crime.
Letting people out of prison early, without a proper rehabilitation plan in place we could only expect more crime.
That 9% is just over 140k people in all offenders, however that includes anyone dealt with the justice system including motoring offences, so, when broken down by crime, I would guess it would be dramatically less, probably around 10k.
Pumping resources into monitoring the ‘prolific offender’ population seems to be a good way to dramatically reduce crime.
As a society we need to start accepting that our lust for punishment (whether justifiable or not) comes with certain consequences.
One of them is that prisoners come out of prison even less equipped to deal with society than before.
Freeing up prisons by quashing crimes leads to criminals not feeling like they need to reform?
Who could’ve predicted being soft on crime would create career criminals
Electorate doesn’t want money spent on prisons and rehabilitation but then complains about reoffending rates.
Same story when it comes to most problems. The electorate whine about stuff but vehemently oppose the solutions that actually work.
Where are the historical stats for this one? Surely it’s a fairly linear progression, as more offenders are released more go on to comitt a violent crime post-release, not sure this one takes a great deal of working out.
The Telegraph was clapping along while the Conservatives destroyed the probation system (Grayling) and allowed our prisons reach a point of occupancy that couldn’t support the level of new prisoners.
We need a three strikes rule. Those that choose a life of crime can live their life in prison.
Working in this sector. Men need purpose and something to attain to.
Radical prison reform needed. Strict, harsh, restrictive prison for those who refuse or repeatedly fail to change with no privileges, niceties or freedoms.
Then prisons with bountiful access to education, work experience and skills and rehabilitation.
But more so we need more cops, courts and convictions. I’ve never met a criminal who committed a crime who thought about the consequences because they never assume they’ll be caught. In today’s society, they’re entirely right 99% of the time.
As ever it comes down to what should we pay for in this country? We don’t want to pay for new prisons as they are expensive, nobody wants them near them, when offenders are released it’s perceived that they are released into the surrounding areas. We don’t want to pay for rehabilitation as poorer people see it as unfair that offenders get more chances than they do/did, it could be seen as a waste of money if someone goes through rehabilitation and still commits further crimes, and employers are reluctant to take on former inmates. We can’t be soft on crime as it pushes up costs and risk for law abiding people. We can’t resort back to capital punishment as it’s clearly not a good solution (despite the fact that I’m sure many on the right would love to see public hanging back).
So we’re left with a worst case all round.
And they return to the world that made them criminals or often with the same mental health problems they ever had.
No government is prepared to risk votes from the mob by treating prisoners with care and support, so this is what you get.
Our prison system is massively underfunded, and often seems to act as a training school for villains.
Everybody knows this, but the will is just not there to fix it.
Engineers have solved this problem long ago. It’s called exponential backoff.
