**Key Findings**
* More than half of individuals (57%) who were released from custodial sentences during 2019 were convicted of re-offending within three years of release.
* While 78% of young adults re-offended within three years of being released in 2019, just under one-third (32%) of those aged 51 years and over re-offended in the same period.
* Individuals linked to custodial sentences relating to Public Order offences (75%) were the most likely to be convicted of a re-offence within three years of being released.
* More than four in ten individuals (44%) who were released from custodial sentences during 2022 were convicted of re-offending within one year of release.
* Individuals released during 2022 from custodial sentences relating to Public Order (68%) or Theft (63%) had the highest rate of re-offending within a year of being released.
* Over half of individuals (52%) released from custody during 2022 and living in the Mid-West region (Clare, Limerick, and Tipperary) re-offended within a year of being released. In contrast, one-third (33%) of individuals based in the Border region (Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Monaghan, and Sligo) re-offended in the same period following release.
78% of under 21s is a truly damning figure
Ah sure, be grand
Who is the one that holds the record again ?
They had like 500-600 convictions.
The criminal justice system in Ireland is punitive rather than rehabilitative. This is exactly the result I would expect.
A huge % of the prison population is functionally illiterate. Not to be all lefty about it, but education has a huge part to play in crime prevention.
Id say what should be done about it but those who must not be named would ban me from commenting again
We don’t rehabilitate and punishment is proven to rarely work alone.
Be interesting to see this data compared with the length of the average sentence, because there’s a lot of evidence that shows sentences of 12 months or less make basically no difference to reoffending rates, whereas longer sentences do. So we either stop wasting everyone’s time and money by locking people up for a few months, or we give longer sentences with better access to rehabilitation and possibly make that a requirement of release – no release until you can read and write, for example.
The ‚reoffended‘ in this context means convicted in court for offences committed within 3 years of release, with 2 extra years allowed for the court process to complete.
Garda detection rates for 2024 are reported as 22% for burglary, 31% for theft, 8% for fraud, 33% kidnapping, 23% hijacking, 8% sexual assaults and so on.
If every released prisoner commited 2.5 crimes within 3 years post release, and the gardai successfully managed to secure convictions in 20% of cases, then it’s likely the CSO would record that as a 50% reoffending rate. In reality the reoffending rate is likely much higher.
Im interested the Garda numbers in the areas with lower rates of offending and the types of crimes the offenders commit.
Its a disgrace. The whole country bare criminals want enforcement ans toughening of the laws in all regards, yet they seem to get weaker and weaker
When you dont rehabilitate or adequately punish people what is going to stop them reoffending? Prisons are not the punishment they once were so theres no fear from people with regard to being sent there. Theres nothing that will turn people toward making something of themselves if they arent already searching for that themselves. Gotta have a mix of good learning opportunities and harsh conditions which will make people want to avail of those opportunities and those that dont can simply rot away there.
The headshots they use on the infographic are so funny, none of us are picturing anyone who looks remotely that groomed.
It’s a revolving door system. Suits the judiciary, Gardai and surrounding services.
It’s almost like locking criminals up and away from society for years and then just releasing them into the same space with no assistance or structure to help them succeed is a fundamentally broken system guaranteed to fail.
There is no point in employing and army of social workers with these numbers, it is money down the drain, if they can´t stop re-offending then off they go, put the money towards something that actually works.
Great rehabilitation
I find this comes down to two main factors.
1 being the mindset of the individual after they have been around other criminals and possibly learning new ways to gain from committing crime.
2 lack of opportunity to improve ones self and ones mindset both while in and when released from prison.
We do have the storys of people who commit to a life of good after prison but thats usually career criminals who have finally had enough of being stuck for 30 odd years.
If we had programs where a prisoner was given the chance to go to a completely different county away from their original surroundings to work in farming or some profession which teaches new life skills I would say theae number could reduce by a lot.
Its like addiction people who go back to the same environment after rehab are almost certain to relaspse at some point.
Only way to fix this is to go back to the chain gang days, have these scrotes pick litter from the roads. clean graffiti etc
This is why the resistance to locking up under 18’s where it can be avoided. You just turn them more criminal by doing it
Just goes to show that it’s the same few heads in every town doing most of the damage. 3 strike rule and lock them up for good. Just be done with them.
No way we should allow people to have 40/50/60+ convictions. What other countries tolerate that level of insubordination?
Woah, almost like prison is outdated and flawed and doesnt actually solve the issue
This is such a shambles and not a single party ran with building out prison capacity on their card. SMH…
By way of comparison, the latest available stat for recidivism in the UK is 28%:
