70 Recidivism - Rates 2005 - 2009 Cohort Years T he NH Department of Corrections conducts annual studies of recidivism to determine the number and percent of offenders who return to prison within three years of their release, and the reasons behind these returns. The most recent study of recidivism, referred to as the 2009 cohort, tracked offenders released between July 1, 2008 and December 31, 2009. This represents a transition year in which the DOC began conducting studies of recidivism based upon prison releases by calendar year rather than fiscal year, to be in line with the Association of State Correctional Administrators Performance-Based Measures System Counting Rules. This will assist us in comparing ourselves to Studies of Recidivism Joan Schwartz, PhD, Administrator of Research other Correctional facilities across the country. Prison releases that occurred in the last six months of the 2008 calendar year were combined and tracked alongside releases that occurred over the 2009 calendar year to ensure there was no interruption in the measurement of prison recidivism. Of the 1,412 offenders released over this 18-month period, 609 returned to prison within three years, representing an overall recidivism rate of 43.1%. The recidivism rate for this cohort represents the fourth consecutive year of decline. The recidivism rate for males for the 2009 cohort was 43.5%, representing only a slight decline (< 1%) from the previous cohort year. The recidivism rate for females for the 2009 cohort was 39.7%, representing a decline of 6.4% from the previous cohort year. The overall recidivism rate statewide declined 13% between the 2004 and 2009 cohort years. The decline for male recidivists over this period was 11%, while the decline for female recidivists was close to 30%. The significant decline in the female recidivism rates can be attributed to a steady return to lower recidivism rates among females following two consecutive cohort years in which the recidivism rate among female offenders jumped to an unprecedented high of over 50%.
