Review of 'The Pale Blue Eye'

Paul LevinsonPublished about a year ago in CriminalBreaking the Cycle of Crime: Understanding and Combating Recidivism
Causes of recidivism: Recidivism, or the tendency for individuals to reoffend after being released from prison or jail, is a complex issue with multiple causes. Psychological factors such as trauma and adverse childhood experiences, mental health conditions, personality disorders, cognitive impairments, and substance abuse disorders can all contribute to recidivism. Social factors, including lack of support from family and community, limited education and job opportunities, discrimination and marginalization, institutionalization, and social networks and peer influence also play a role. Economic factors, such as poverty and unemployment, lack of affordable housing, financial instability, limited access to education and job training, and limited access to healthcare and social services, can also contribute to recidivism. Environmental factors, such as neighborhood crime and disorder, exposure to violence, lack of community resources and amenities, limited access to transportation, and exposure to pollution and environmental hazards, also have an impact. Additionally, systemic factors, such as inadequate legal representation, racial and ethnic disparities in the criminal justice system, mass incarceration, inadequate reentry and rehabilitation services, and inadequate support for marginalized groups, can contribute to recidivism.
