DailyKenn.com — One trend that showed up strongly this month: recidivism.

Hemphill et al., Legal and Criminological Psychology, June 2011]. It is also a recurring theme in Black-on-White homicides: suspects commit crimes after they have been released from prison or are otherwise on judicial probation. There were no less than three cases involving recidivists in September: the tragic deaths of jogger Eliza Fletcher, Allison Parker, and radio reporter Jim Matthews.
