Recidivism

The act of a person repeating an undesirable behavior after they have either experienced negative consequences of that behavior or have been treated or trained to extinguish that behavior. In criminal justice, it refers to a person's tendency to re-offend and return to jail or prison after release.

Pre-incarceration diversion program

Programs that offer alternatives to jail or prison for individuals who have committed crimes, often providing treatment, counseling, or community service instead, especially before they are formally charged or convicted.

Rehabilitation program

Programs designed to help individuals overcome the underlying issues that led to their criminal behavior, such as substance abuse, mental health problems, or lack of job skills, with the goal of preventing them from re-offending.

Specialty courts

Special courts designed to handle specific types of cases, like drug courts, mental health courts, or veteran courts, which aim to address the root causes of criminal behavior through supervision, treatment, and support rather than traditional punishment.
