Factors Affecting Recidivism

I found an article about stats and factors relating to recidivism in Florida in 2001. 

The report collects information from the time or release from jail to time of reincarnation.  In the data collected it explores the factors that contribute to recidivism: "age at release, prior recidivism, race, gender, education level, offense type, custody level at release, number of disciplinary reports received, and time served in prison" (Crews, 2001).
