Thesis Statement The proposed research essay will argue on the greatest extent, to which recidivism can lead to the increment of the criminal intentions of the convicted criminals, as a result of which, they might have to serve their sentences of imprisonment repeatedly even after being released. Introduction · Since recidivism is a common behavioural aspect amongst the prisoners or criminals, therefore, it is very important to understand this concept in depth. · It will also critically analyse the rate of increase in the number of times released criminals are being punished with re-imprisonment, as an account of recidivism. · Hence, this topic has been chosen for writing a plan to a research essay. · The essay plan will serve as the backbone to the final draft for the research essay in future, which will be written based on this plan only. Topic Sentences · ‘Recidivism is the tendency of the criminals to commit crimes again and again’ According to Chouldechova (2017), recidivism is a psychological thought process of the convicted criminals that makes them believe in the righteousness of their criminal deeds and hence, continually forces them to tread those paths of time. · ‘Even after they are being punished for their crimes through imprisonment and fines, yet they are committing those crimes, once they are released from the prison.’ As stated by Zeng, Ustun and Rudin (2017), once the convicted criminals are being released from the prisons, they should consider the hardships they had to go through solely due to their criminal activities. However, as argued by Dressel and Farid (2018), they might a sense of recidivism and choose not to go by their conscience. · ‘Recidivism is increasing the rate of re-imprisonment of criminals in many countries.’ Thus, the number of cases of re-imprisonment is increasing day by day. As mentioned by Skeem and Lowenkamp (2016), the security of the people in the society is questionable if released convicted criminals are allowed to stay among them. · ‘It is very important to analyse the actual reasons behind the same, in order to resolve the issue’ However, as criticised by Loza (2018), before judging the criminals for their acts of recidivism, it is also very important that their intentions behind the same are evaluated. This brings to analysing the reasons for recidivism, which show that lack of acceptance, prejudice and ill-treatment by the society, in which they go back after being released from the jails, lead to recidivism largely. More other reasons will also be analysed in this essay. · ‘Jail Authorities, governmental and non-governmental bodies are trying to analyse the core of this issue, and for the same, they should put in place strict measures to reduce recidivism.’ For reducing recidivism and checking that, the criminals do not develop this intention, forms of control measures such as employment opportunities and psychological counselling are being provided by the jail authorities, governmental and non-governmental bodies (Schnepel, 2017). Conclusion · As inferred from the essay, convicted criminals always have the tendency to commit the crimes they used to do before being convicted. · This tendency of returning, back to the previous criminal form is termed as recidivism. · Due to recidivism, many times, the released criminals from prison, who have already had completed their tenure of imprisonment, have to be punished with longer or more severe punishment. · Government and non-governmental organisations, along with the jail authorities are striving towards taking care of the aim that the frequencies and instances of recidivism occurring in the society can be decreased in their lives.
