RECIDIVIZAM U PENOLOŠKOM DISKURSU
RECIDIVISM IN PENOLOGICAL DISCOURSE

Summary/Abstract: Recidivism, defined as the re-engagement of criminal offenders in criminal activities after their release from incarceration, poses a significant challenge for judicial institutions worldwide. This paper explores the causes of recidivism, its consequences for individuals and society, and strategies for mitigating this issue. Through the analysis of relevant literature and data, key factors contributing to recidivism are identified, including social, economic, psychological, and institutional factors. Special attention is given to the challenges faced by judicial services in preventing recidivism, including limited resources, a lack of support for the re-socialization of convicts, and the stigma surrounding reentrants into society. Furthermore, various strategies for reducing recidivism are discussed, such as rehabilitation programs, educational initiatives, employment support, alternative sentencing, and enhanced cooperation between judicial institutions and local communities. Through a comprehensive approach, this paper provides insights into the complexity of the recidivism problem from criminal, criminological, and penological perspectives and highlights the importance of an integrated approach in reducing repeat offenses and building a safer and more just society.
