Abstract

Recidivism is engaging in criminal activity again after having previously been involved with the criminal justice system, which continues to pose a severe problem for all civilizations. In order to create successful methods for crime prevention, offender rehabilitation, and community reintegration, it is essential to understand the elements that lead to recidivism. This research was undertaken to investigate the ideas and associates of recidivism. We used the quantitative research design and approached 240 criminals using simple random sampling from the Sahiwal division. We used a structured questionnaire, survey method, and face-to-face interview schedule for data collection. The study explored that lower self-containment, high social engagement, appreciable mental health, history of drug usage, especially marijuana, single marital status, and no religious practices are associated with recidivism. We suggested using the self-containment model to prevent recidivism.

Keywords: Geometrical Modeling, Recidivism, Criminal Activities, Criminal Justice System.
