recidivism

Violent criminals in America have shockingly high rates of recidivism.

Recidivism is part of the social contract in this society of freedom and justice for all.

The goal is to reduce the burden of prison costs while also reducing the recidivism rate.

Their recidivism is not due to an inability to distinguish between right and wrong.

The detailed study of criminal heredity and of criminal habit, or recidivism, scarcely forms part of criminal anthropology.
