310. juvenile recidivism

"Although the recidivism rates for OCFS youth are higher than desired, they are comparable to, and in some cases, lower than the reoffense rates reported for juvenile offenders committed to residential facilities in other large states."

2011 Juvenile Recidivism Rate: 36.7%
Nearly 82% of juveniles who recidivated were returned to IDOC for
the commission of a new crime, compared to 18% of returns which
were for a technical violation of post-release supervision.
 Juvenile offenders whose offense severity level was classified as
‘Serious’ were most likely to return to incarceration.

"The traditional orientation of the judicial system toward adolescent offenders was to emphasize rehabilitation over punishment, with the belief that juveniles were capable of reform through treatment (Trivits & Repucci, 2002)."

"In general, research has indicated that JSO sexual recidivism rates fall between 2-14% (as cited in Rubinstein, Yeager, Goodstein, & Lewis, 1993 and Sipe et al., 1998). For example, in a 1999 synthesis of sexual offender treatment research, Alexander reported an overall sexual recidivism rate (based on re-arrest) of 7.1% for the sub-sample of treated JSOs (n = 1025)."
