Fabelo Measure Recidivism
Research Concepts and Measurement When people think of recidivism is most likely thought of as “to fall back.” Recidivism is used in the criminal justice system to discuss the relapse rate of criminals. Recidivism is when a proportion of a specific group of offenders that have been released from prison recommit crimes within a certain period of time. Recidivism is basically to relapse.
How Toni Fabelo Proposes to Measure Recidivism In order to measure recidivism, Fabelo stresses to have a full understanding of recidivism, understand how it is measured, and determine the implications of adopting recidivism rates as measures of performance (Maxfield, 2015, pp. 83-84). There are indicators such as rearrests, reconvictions, or incarcerations …show more content…
The reliability issue with Fabelo’s proposed measure of recidivism is if his measurement technique done repeatedly will give the same results each time (Maxfield, 2015, pp. 93-94). Fabelo’s proposed measure of recidivism must be consistent or stable to meet the guidelines of criminal justice researchers. The issue when dealing with operational is when more than one observer makes measurements.
Through the process of research, criminal justice researchers are interested in measurement validity, which involves whether the research really measures what is researching and not something else (Maxfield, 2015, pp. 93-94). The methods for evaluating reliability are direct it is hard to show measures are valid because concepts are not real. Fabelo developed theoretical expectations about the recidivism of released prisoners and …show more content…
Conceptual is to form basic ideas in the beginning stages of research to build off a plan. The explanation concerns are hate crime offenders are only categorized based on similarities such as motives and type of offense. An example, in 2003, the Partners Against Hate most committed crime against people was intimidation or crimes against property such as destruction or vandalism (Gallaudet, 2016). Due to no clear developmental trajectories, hate crime offenders are better explained by the characteristics that define their
