Recidivism

Read a random definition: nonjury

A quick definition of Recidivism:

Recidivism: When someone commits a crime, goes to jail, and then commits another crime and goes back to jail again. This happens a lot in some places, which means those places might need better ways to help people who have been in jail.

A more thorough explanation:

Recidivism is when someone keeps committing crimes even after being punished for them. For example, if someone steals something, goes to jail, gets out, and then steals something again, that's recidivism.

High rates of recidivism in a certain area can mean that the punishment system there isn't working well. It might mean that people who go to jail aren't getting the help they need to stop committing crimes.

For instance, if a city has a lot of people who keep going back to jail after being released, it might be a sign that the city needs to improve its programs for helping people stay out of trouble.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
