This work describes a large-scale retrospective study of the
psychological antecedents of criminal recidivism. Previous work has
shown that a variety of measures can predict recidivism, but does
little to elucidate what actually happens when an experienced
offender reoffends after release from prison. In contrast, this
study proceeds from the perspective that criminal actions are the
result of ongoing psychological processes, and that they can be
understood better in this context. Over 300 serious male criminal
offenders were interviewed and tested after they returned to prison
for new crimes, and were asked about their problems, emotions,
thoughts and behaviour prior to reoffending. The results show a
broad range of differences between the recidivists and a comparison
group of ex-offenders surviving in the community. Moreover, the
antecedents for recidivism differed according to the type of new
offense, indicating how experiential and environmental details may
direct the course of recidivism.
