- 1再犯；再犯率
Recidivism is when a person who has already been punished for a crime goes back and does illegal things again. The word names the going-back — the act, the habit, or the rate — not the person. Courts, prisons, and news use it a lot, often as a number: ‘recidivism is high’ means many people return to crime after release. Though actually, sometimes hear a gloss that sounds like a person; that person is a . Keep - for the pattern (the problem, the rate) and -ist for the human being. It is formal, legal, policy English, a little cold. In kinder everyday talk, people say someone offended again, or went back to crime. Scientists argue about what really cuts recidivism — jobs, housing, treatment, longer sentences — so the word often sits inside a fight about what works, not only inside a dictionary.
組成From French récidivisme, from Latin recidīvus (‘returning, recurring’). By surface analysis, recidive + -ism (the practice or pattern).
