- Abstract
- In a sociolegal way, this study aims to understand the broader problem of recidivism and its

factors that influence reoffending are present. Some factors are above the authorities since they
are stated in various laws and regulations, which might not always be coherent... (More) - In a sociolegal way, this study aims to understand the broader problem of recidivism and its

accessible, especially at the beginning of time outside prison. (Less)
