Repeat offenders

As cities move away from releasing repeat offenders the amount of violent crime is decreasing. It is well known that repeat offenders cause a disproportionate number of crimes. A small group of persistent offenders, sometimes referred to as chronic offenders is responsible for a substantial portion of all crime including over 60% of robbery, burglary and theft cases. This is not the case in homicides where most murders are isolated crimes of passion. This is from Google AI: Many U.S. cities and states are actively shifting towards more aggressive incarceration of repeat offenders, driven by concerns over rising crime, high recidivism rates, and public safety. This marks a shift, or at least a parallel movement, from recent years of reform-focused "decarceration" to a renewed focus on holding chronic offenders accountable.
