Recidivism is the action of a person to relapse into a previous condition or mode of behavior. The most efficient program that was found to reduce recidivism is the evidence-based practice. This concept has its origin in the medical profession and has been adopted and even applied in different occupations, including psychology, mental health, substance abuse, and even corrections. Moreover, this concept mostly refers to the professional practices that are supported by the "best research practices" which is composed of scientific results which have produced the intervention strategies. However, this strategy was extracted from the primary research evidence which is based on systematic reviews, reasonable effect sizes, statistical and clinical

Some of the practices will be described in details on how they can reduce recidivism in the society. For instance, under the risk principle, the step which is applied is to check determine whether the candidate is suitable for a rehabilitations program (Polaschek, 2012). This practice is done in all the six steps before taking any other action. This principle expects that the offender will re-offend to bring about intervention in the offender 's life. Besides this, this practice is used to identify the level of risk for the offenders who are the most targets of recidivism (Polaschek, 2012). Though the practice is referred to as a risk strategy, it is not intended to refer to the seriousness of the crime or the probability that the offender will incur violations in the process but rather the likelihood that the offender will commit another crime (Tully, Chou, and Browne, 2013). Therefore, the offender may be at high risk to re-offend as opposed to having committed a violent crime. Moreover, for the recidivism to work correctly, the inmates are categorized into three groups (Polaschek, 2012). However, moderate and high-risk patients are the best target for a
