Recidivism in Türkiye: An Arrest-Based Study On Released Prisoners On Parole
Öz
Recidivism is among the leading problems in criminal justice systems for many countries. Official crime reports reveal that reoffenders generate a serious amount of total criminality. This fact charges an important burden on the budget of the criminal justice system of governments. So, a comprehensive approach based on official data in crime researches is needed for effective crime prevention programs. There are few studies on recidivism in Türkiye because of the difficulties in gathering data on recidivism. This study aims to contribute to picture dimensions of recidivism in Türkiye. For this aim, official crime statistics on recidivism gathered from Turkish law enforcement agencies, the Turkish Gendarmerie and the Turkish National Police, are analyzed. After COVID-19 pandemic, the Turkish government changed The Law on Execution of Punishment and Security Measures, and nearly 750.000 prisoners were released on parole between 15th April 2020 and 15th April 2023. The analysis includes crime types, reoffending frequency, age, and effects of recidivism on crime rates. The study concludes that the recidivism rate based on released on parole in Türkiye for a 3-year follow-up period is 61 percent; that theft, fraud and drugs-related crime are mostly reoffended crime types, and that reoffenders have caused a-20-percent-rise in crime rates for the said period.
