In modern society, the number of rape cases increase annually, but there is still a high amount of victimization that is unreported. Rape is not simply a forced sex, it associated with a strong connection between several serious social and public health concerns. The experiences of sexual violence cause depression, loss of self-esteem, mental insanity, and suicide, which ruins the lives of survivors entirely. Victims might feel relieved after the rapist is locked up in jail, but the possibilities that the rapists will not be punished to panic. According to the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center, 76 or 63.3% of the people who meets the legal definition of rape are recidivists ("Recidivism”). This consequence of the high rates of recidivism shows that convicts will repeat offending due to the unsuccessful ethics and judgement in prison, unhealthy practices among society, the negative reactions from the victim, and the mental sickness and abnormal characteristics of rapists.

The failure of the administration and ratification in prison stimulates criminals to re-offend after they are released because it creates an inappropriate environment. Currently, the prison’s law is still inadequate and remains on paper and not in practice. The human right of inmates is largely ignored, and bullying, including sexual abuse, is extremely common. According to the press article published on Criminal Magazine, approximately 200,000 prisoners are raped in the United States Correction System annually. Surprisingly, among those cases of sexual abuse, the majority are guards, who supposed to be supervisors, rather than fellow inmates (McClelland-Cohen 2013). Few prisoners have ability to protect themselves, most of the keep silence in order to obtain a temporary peace. The raped victim in prison are usually extricated due to this certain environment since there is no shelter to protect them from rape. Hence if they report their experiences of rape, they will encounter the same circumstances again. Even worse, the offender might be someone who works in administration detention or protective custody, and they will punish the victim who reported their experience and reward others (Capers 2011). In the long term, these unhealthy practices enhance large potential risks for prisoners to have psychological illnesses. These lead to high possibilities of recidivism because they lose the power in prison and over-masculine raise the anger of prisoner, and when they are released they will become more aggravated and objectionable since they are in charge outside of the prison. 

Additionally, the rapists will be free early without punishment due to the inappropriate laws in prison. In the modern society, there are increasing numbers of offenders who are sentenced to correction system for introspection about their sinful behavior. However, some of them are released because of the low capabilities of the custody, but their performance. According to the research, Parole boards had great leniency to decide to release certain prisoners early due to the higher population in jail, good behavior, and earned time. Among those people who got released, six states in America only required 50% of time served and others requires 85-100% (Albert 2010). These decisions give the offenders opportunities to take advantage of the law. After they get released, they will be unbridled to their behavior because they got rid of their punishment by presuming upon the loophole of the law. Therefore, convicts are likely to reoffend due to unsuccessful supervision and laws.

Social injustice creates a wrongful atmosphere that motivates the convicted rapists to recommit after liberation. In America, citizens live in a “rape culture,” which supports sexual behavior and contains a variety of inappropriate information that is considered as violence and infringement against females. In this technological age, inappropriate websites that contain pornographic images and sexual implications are widespread, and people can assess them without restriction. Research demonstrates that around 60% college male students admit that they are likely to rape a woman if they could get away with it, and pornography has become increasingly violent annually, which displays particularly inappropriate views and could lead to the distortion of rape and sexuality (Russell 1988). Although porn might provide a kind of relaxation for certain people to release their pressure, it inspires a strong sexual desire mentally, which impacts the rapist’s ability to be under-control so they will commit sexual crimes for their need, especially those who have criminal records. Beyond the computer export, it is important to look up daily life as well.

The inappropriate social relations prompt a wider range of illicit sexual relationships, which stimulates the convicts to reoffend. Currently in society, the increasing improper connections by bureaucrats and the lack of transparency of the government fuels public debate. The truth has been hidden in officialdom, and false information is used to whitewash the public, which hides illegal operations regarding rape and kidnapping. In politics, public relations, and many other fields, women in the workplace often encounter sexual harassment. Serini, Toth, Wright, and Emig (1998) point out that ‘sexual harassment, or fear of it, sets up artificial limits on women’s ability to interact with men in situations that are important to their career’” (VanSlette, Sarah and Amber Hinsley). The gender inequality of society forces women to have frail roles in public relations. In order to ensure their employment, many women endure the sexual harassment from the boss or superior, which creates various unhealthy social currents. “In addition to the risk of harassment and disrespect that women face in many work settings, female public relations practitioners may be at an additional disadvantage because they are working in a field whose credibility has often been challenged. This lack of respect for their profession may open up female practitioners to additional harassment.” These additional harassments forme a basic foundation of illegal sexual deals, led by the inappropriate public relations. In the long term, various unlawful operations and deals are connected in order to protect the interest of the bureaucrat. Thus, these shields of bureaucrat provide the opportunity for convicted rapists to reoffend after their release.

Furthermore, convicted rapist are likely to leave their comfort zone to pursue a “Grey Area” for them to recommit. “Grey Area” is the area that has a fuzzy border or policies regarding high potential for illegal activities. In America, the laws of each state are quite different, but the merging of “Grey Areas” are common due to limitation in geography. For example, in Alaska, fifty-six of the villages are only accessible by air and seventy-five of the villages do not have law enforcement. Although some of the leaders in the village would like to help, police are still unable to access each village to protect citizens (Sutter and Brandon 2014). These geographical difficulties give rapists the opportunity to take advantage of the low protection. Moreover, alcohol abuses in “Grey Area” are extensive. Some convinced rapists commit the crime again, despite that they are aware their behavior is incorrect, because they cannot control themselves when they are intoxicated. “Drinking is not an excuse for rape but it can make it more likely” (ibid). Drinking allows the offender to follow through with the action without consciousness. The uncertainties of “Grey Area” provide both geographic and mental excuses for rapists for recidivism. Thus, the immoral environment exploits the advantage for the criminals to slip through, so they believe they can reoffend without being arrested.    

The rape survivor usually keep silence after their experiences of sexual assault, which oblique assists the offender to come back and recommit the crime. “Silence is thus emblematic of powerlessness in our society. It is therefore not surprising that rape survivors often remain silent about their experiences” (Ahrens 2006). In the temporal society the gender inequality still contains a series of problems. In many area, the value of the woman is less than the man because male usually contributes the community (for example in Alaska) in many ways such as hunting, fishing, and working… (Sutter and Brandon 2014). A lot of parents told their children to never speak again about the experiences since the reputation of the male are necessary. Family creates an atmosphere of negative reaction towards the victim which informally supports the rapists to repeat their behavior after they got release. 

Also, the male rapists are more likely to play a dominion role, they attend to be chauvinism to their victim and order them to keep silence. More appalling, after reporting the rape experience, there are lots of sounds “she asks for it” or it wasn't a rape” leads to an uncertainty whether the disclosure is effective makes the victim to keep their secret. The rapists subconsciously believe what they did are not wrong or it is not a problem, it stimulates the rapists in some ways to reoffending.  Also, it is ridiculous that many comments in the America society conveys that woman should feel guilty by a rape. Survey indicates that over 63.6% members of the law judgement departments are prejudices and stereotypes (Hildebrand 2015). In the light of this, the lack of the woman right both from family and society enforces the victim to be silence but creating a comfort zone for rapists to reoffending because they know their victim will unacknowledged for the experiences. Thus, silence of victim motives the convicts to re-offense since it will not expose to the publics.

Mental illness also the reason to lead rapists inevitably repeating the crime. The judgement department will appropriate reduced the punishments for criminals who are instinctive with psychological illness by releasing them early but the confusion between unintentionality and anti-sociality or mindset crippled may lead to a disaster to society. “Anti-sociality” such as impulsivity is intentional to be tend to be rule violation, the convicts will be sexual reoffending after they release from the detention because they believe they must hurt people and there’s no harm is being caused, also they cannot control their illegal behavior (Thakker and Ward). This anti-sociality disorder tends to have violence ability and they are unaware of their own safety or other people. Also, “individuals who have antisocial traits often have problems with self-regulation and display a tendency for impulsivity” (ibid). Due to the lack of self-control by the convicts who appears with an anti-sociality disorder, the enhancement of psychological enforcement leads to a destructive recidivism in the future society. Thus, convicts who is anti-sociality disorder should place in the jail to predict their behavior in order to prevent the high potential rate of recidivism. 

Moreover, the psychopathic personality disorder is another factor leading a repeat criminal. Sjöstedt, Gabrielle and Niklas Långström in "Assessment of Risk for Criminal Recidivism among Rapists: A Comparison of Four Different Measures" believe that “…psychopathy construct has been shown to have two correlated underlying factors; Factor 1 capturing unemotional, callous, selfish, remorseless use of others, and Factor 2 tapping a chronically unstable and antisocial lifestyle. Personality traits and other features that generally help to inhibit aggression and violence such as empathy, impulse control, and close emotional bonds are thus less common or lacking in the psychopathic individual.” These rapists tend to be deviants. The behaviors of them appear are more likely unusually creative and intelligent therefore the lifestyle and personality cannot be controlled by external force. Even worse, the psychopathy disordered rapists is incapable of any self-awareness and self-     regulation. Hanson and Harris (2000) explored “the role of psychological problems in sexual reoffending and found that recidivists were significantly more likely than non-recidivists to experience negative mood states immediately prior to their re-offence. In particular, anger was observed to have a strong relationship with recidivism. This is interesting as it suggests that at least some individuals who re-offend sexually may have difficulty with emotional regulation.” (Thakker and Ward). Rapists who suffered from this problematic illness, are not likely to be cured but treatment may help. However, the short-term custody is obviously not an appropriate place for correction hence the best resolution is sending them to the psychological clinic for supervision. 

However, there are many instances of rebuttal in holding different views towards recidivism. They convey that there are still some possibilities that convicted rapists will not be reoffending after they released. One of the theory believe the prison have changed a lot in this ten year, and the administration in the prison are better which might not lead to enhance psychological darkness in rapists’ mind. “… PREA agencies are better able to address the issue of prison rape, and research projects funded by the act and carried out by various agencies (including the American Probation and Parole Association, the American Prosecutor Research Institute, Community Resource for Justice, and the Center for Innovative Public Policy) have been undertaken to determine and help implement best practices for prevention” (McClelland-Cohen 2013). Thus, the potential factor in prison is highly improved in these years so the offender will not repeat reoffending after they get release. Moreover, the predictive detention for the future practice are unjust. According to research, Jessica Black questioned the detention by suggesting that there is no way to foreseeing the future Acts, and the label of dangerous offenders should be carefully considered otherwise it might lead to the loss of human rights (2013). The detention contributes to the side of caution because they are tending to over predict the number who will reoffend. Thus, they believe it is arbitrary to consider that rapist will recommit crime after they got release.

The viewpoints sound reasonable, but it could lead to social panics for the victim. Considering the justice of the prisoner, the idea seems good but it puts the people in the society in danger. According to research, “about 68 percent of 405,000 prisoners released in 30 states in 2005 were arrested for a new crime within three years of their release from prison, and 77 percent were arrested within five years (Slifer 2014)”. The result is terrified. The better supervision will not guarantee it will not any potential risk in the whole world but the criminal recidivism increased annually indicates that convicted rapist will have reoffended after they get release so proper predictive detention is necessary for a big picture, which is not only predict the potential risk in the future but sounds a warning. The result should make convicts to amend gradually and shows a good behavior and guilty. 

To sum up, the criminal recidivism is a serious problem in daily base. As the result of failure supervision in custody, social immorality, incorporate survivor, and mental disorder of the offender, the potential of repeat offending increased gradually. From the understanding, this recidivism may lead social panic against the value of intimacy. Although some points of views convey some prisoners will not reoffend after they release, and believed predictive detention is undeserved. It still contains a large potential risk underlying. Thus, for the purpose of preferable living standard, the society should reinforce the regulation and supervision in the prison and consider the high possibilities by convicts will be reoffended after they got release.
