The US justice system faces a major issue in recidivism. More than three quarters of people incarcerated in the country become reoffenders, which illustrates that the US justice system does not play an effective role in rehabilitating offenders. Reducing recidivism is an important task towards ensuring that there is a functional and effective justice system. The research report develops an illustrative approach in evaluating how to effectively reduce recidivism were socioeconomic factors are seen to play a central role. The US sees recidivism increase due to the disparities in socioeconomic factors such as housing, income and race. Developing a focused intervention plan that seeks to ensure that offenders with high chances of reoffending when they are released will help in creating a straightforward approach in reducing recidivism.
