Journal Title: International Journal of Legal Studies ( IJOLS ) - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
In Criminology, recidivism is one of the most fundamental concepts. Recidivism connotes to an individual’s relapse into criminal behavior, which was already punished or has been the object of intervention. Recidivism is a criminal act that resulted in re-arrest, reconvic-tion or returns into jail with or without a new sentence after the prisoner’s release. Recidi-vism is measured through chronic criminal behavior leading to numerous re-arrests and re-imprisonments. Studies have found that more than one-half of the imprisoned have been served sentences for committing previous offenses. And the main reasons behind this are the habitual criminal behavior of the criminal, to short time of imprisonment and inade-quate measures taken by the penal institutions. Now in Bangladesh, recidivism is the most critical challenge to counterterrorism. Though the number of recidivists grows in the pris-ons of Bangladesh because of the gaps in the country’s judicial system, it is very essential to address them with a long aspect. The aim of this study is to explain the causes of the criminal behavior of the recidivist and suggest some recommendations for reducing recidi-vism from Bangladesh.<br/><br/>Recidivism, Criminal behavior, Re-arrest, Prison, Punishment, Imprisonment, Judicial System<br/><br/>
