Let me help you out.  Property crimes have the largest rate of recidivism.

http://www.sgc.wa.gov/PUBS/Recidivism/Adult_Recidivism_CY04.pdf

 

Crimes done for economic benefit are done so because... well economic benefit.  So if you beat someone up for their money... you have good incentive to do so again.

If you beat someone up because they are a different race for fun... and you go to jail for a while.

What is your benefit to do so again?


Racists aren't mentally ill or anything... (well some are)

They beat people up of another race by actual choice.  Not compulsion or need.


Therefore rcidivism SHOULD be lower then people of compulsion (crazy) or need (poor).

That document infuriates me. Recidivism rates basically highlight everything wrong with our criminal justice system.

I hate the US prison system so much

I'm going cross-eyed

Yeah... it's annoying.  In general I think that's the way it is everywhere though.  From what I can find anway.  The Recidivism rates seem pretty standard.  In your new home the recidivism rate is apparenty 75% in the provincial system.  Unsure of federal.

A harder stat to find out then you'd think tooFor some reason Canada doesn't like to look at that kind of thing.

It doesn't help that... well prisons are hellholes where if anything criminal, racism and anti-social behavior are actually reinforced.

It also shows how dumb drug laws are.

In general, NOBODY is doing prison right.
