Reducing Recidivism with Evidence-Based Approaches
The criminal justice system aims to deter individuals from initially committing crime. However, the system must also endeavor to prevent those who have been convicted of a crime and released from recommitting crimes and returning to prison. Current research shows a high rate of recidivism, with as many as 43% of felons being rearrested while still on parole (Petersillia 2011). However, researchers are not only recognizing a problem but are also looking for solutions as they search for empirically based methods to reduce recidivism. Through their work, they call-in to question early research that suggests reducing recidivism through treatment is unlikely.

“According to most studies, people’s number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two? Does that seem right? To the average person that means that if they have to go to a funeral, they’d be better off in the casket than giving the eulogy.” Jerry SeinfeldAcross age groups and different types of speaking arenas, many people fear being in front of an audience and trying to communicate effectively. Yet employment eligibility and upward mobility for many criminal justice roles often require competent public speaking skills.
