Recidivism: determinants and preventive measures

Recidivism is a complex social and legal phenomenon that poses a particular public threat. Recidivism is one of the most difficult to predict and difficult to regulate forms of crime, requiring a comprehensive approach to identifying its determinants and finding effective measures to prevent the commission of new crimes by persons who have a criminal record for committing premeditated crimes. The purpose of this article is to consider the features of recidivism in the Russian Federation, identify its causes and analyze possible measures to prevent recidivism. The research methodology is represented by a set of methods: analysis and synthesis, deduction, generalization, formal legal and legal modeling methods. Among the most effective measures to prevent recidivism, the author singles out administrative supervision over persons released from detention centers, the key task of which is individual preventive activities with these categories of people. At the same time, it is concluded that the basis for the prevention and precaution of recidivism should be not only monitoring compliance with the imposed prohibitions and restrictions, but also a set of individual preventive measures carried out by law enforcement officers with persons who have a criminal record and released from detention centers.
