Recidivism

 The Guardian going big on reoffending rates, (recidivism) and the fact that that four in ten of the young people in jail are black and The Telegraph lauding Ken Clarke’s announcement that jail terms will be handed out to those who threaten with a knife and mandatory life sentences would be the norm for those convicted of a second violent sexual crime. Finally the BBC is carrying news that Armley Jail in Leeds is to be involved in a pilot where it will be paid according to the success it has in preventing reoffending.
