Compare and contrast recidivism rates between general supervision, diversional and specialized caseloads.
Please follow the outline below for the paper.
Also, I am expecting to to see the outline at the deadline and Introduce your area of study, sharing details about your research question, problem statement,and hypotheses.
My goal for this paper is to look at the different factors that lead to higher recidivism rates and what factors reduce them.
