I was reading somewhere that the re-offender rates range from 10 to 25%, that might have been old, there was also an issue with the stats tracking (ie a federal convict who re-offended and went into the provincial system wasn't counted as a re-offender statistically).
Part of me right now is about damning the statistics, maybe its the tired of the bs part of my soul, but I've read a ton of stories lately about people with lengthy records that keep getting let out.
I also look at the stats around the world for re-offenders and then think its great that we're the safest in the world but the bar I believe when you make that argument is set incredibly low.
