| Summary: | This article also appeared on pp. 6–8 of the Winter 2018 print edition. This article describes findings on recidivism over an eight-year period for individuals released from Alaska Department of Corrections facilities in 2007. These findings emerged from the Alaska Results First (RF) analysis released by Alaska Justice Information Center (AJiC) in October 2017. In general, the RF findings corroborate previous analyses which examined recidivism patterns one to three years after release, but by following offenders for eight years, AJiC is expanding our understanding of recidivism patterns in Alaska for a large group of offenders, beyond any prior study. Differences among offense-based cohorts / Least likely to recidivate: Sex offenders / Most likely to recidivate: DV [domestic violence] / DUI offenders [driving under the influence] / Felons versus misdemeanants / Conclusion / References
