recidivism reduction

Recidivism reduction refers to efforts aimed at decreasing the likelihood that individuals who have been released from detention or imprisonment will commit new crimes and return to the justice system. These efforts often include providing education, mental health services, job training, and community support to address the underlying causes of criminal behavior. The goal is to help individuals reintegrate into society successfully, reducing repeat offenses and promoting public safety. Effective recidivism reduction strategies are crucial for creating safer communities and making justice system resources more efficient.
