Homicide offender recidivism: A review of the literature
2013, Aggression and Violent BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Evidence proves to be inconclusive as to whether or not there is a preventive effect of imprisonment on recidivism for homicide offenders. Two studies focusing on general homicide offenders (Gottlieb & Gabrielsen, 1990; Roberts et al., 2007) and one study on juvenile homicide offenders (Heide, 1998), for example, indicated that longer imprisonment increased recidivism, while three others observed that longer imprisonment reduced recidivism (Hagan, 1997; Heide et al., 2001; Hill et al., 2008). Baaij et al. (2012) found that the effect of length of imprisonment is inversely U-shaped; overall, longer imprisonment appeared to increase recidivism, but when the length of imprisonment exceeds eight to 10 years, it decreases recidivism.
