One example of where the American criminal justice system falls short is the rate of recidivism; based on data gathered by Latimer et al (2005), over half of all criminals who were released from incarceration went back to jail. This is compared to most Scandinavian and a few other European countries that have to deal with only a fifth to a tenth of their prisoners relapsing, this is in due to the fact that these countries have opted for higher quality…
