Title: Recidivism Report 1997-2007 Trends in the Reconviction Rate of Dutch Offenders Summary: In the field of Dutch criminal law there is a comprehensive policy programme called "Working on Reduction of Recidivism". Various measures are being implemented to help reduce the risk of prosecuted offenders relapsing into criminal behaviour. Some years ago, definite targets were formulated with respect to two offender groups. Between 2002 and 2010, the medium-term recidivism for both juvenile offenders sanctioned by court or PPS, and adult ex-prisoners will have to be reduced by 10 percentage points. With regard to the latter group, the target was recently enhanced: by 2020, the reconviction rate of ex-prisoners must be reduced by 25 percent. The Recidivism Monitor study constitutes a means of checking whether the realisation of the target figures holds a steady course. Each year, the WODC calculates the reconviction rate of Dutch offenders. Nearly all persons in the Netherlands who came into contact with the Dutch judicial system as a suspect are included in the study. The measurements relate to five populations: adult offenders sanctioned by court or Public Prosecutor's Service (PPS), juvenile offenders sanctioned by court or PPS, ex-prisoners, former inmates of juvenile detention centres and former offenders placed under an entrustment order. Recently, the relapse among former offenders placed under an entrustment order was reported separately. This fact sheet outlines recidivism in the other four offender populations. Specifically, the study relates to juveniles and adults who were sanctioned by court or PPS or released from a penitentiary institution in the 1997-2007 period.

Author: Wartna, B.S.J. Title: Recidivism report 2002-2008: Trends in the reconviction rate of Dutch offenders Summary: For a third consecutive year Dutch criminal recidivism has decreased on a broad front. The latest measurements of the WODC Recidivism Monitor show another slight reduction of the percentages of adult and juvenile offenders who were reconvicted within two years. The last year of the study relates to persons who were sanctioned by court or PPS in 2008, or who were released during that year from a penitentiary institution. The first year of the research period is 2002. - From 2004, the percentage of repeat adult offenders sanctioned by court or PPS decreased slightly. Of the adults 27.5% sentenced for committing a crime in 2008 relapsed within two years. In 2002 this was 30.8%. - For juvenile offenders sanctioned by court or PPS the decline in recidivism started somewhat later. The national reconviction rate for this population decreased from 2006. In 2002 this was 39.1%. In 2008 35.9% of all minors with a criminal case disposed by court or PPS were prosecuted again within two years after the index case. - The last few years the reconviction rate of ex-prisoners decreased as well. From 2002, the recidivism percentages in the sector of the adult prison system show a downward trend. Of all the adults leaving a penitentiary institution in 2008, 48.5% came into contact with the judicial system again, within two years. In 2002, this was 55.2%. - The 2-year reconviction rate among former inmates of juvenile detention centres who were released in 2002 was 55.3%. For juveniles released in 2008 this was 52.0%. From 2006 a decrease is noticeable. This population also includes minors institutionalised under a civil suit.
