| Summary: | Insufficiency of aftercare situates former prisoners at high risk of recidivism. Their
tendency to repeating criminal activity resulted from various factors that could influence
them in the ongoing recovery process. This study attempts to identifying risks and
existing protective factors in the social environment of the former prisoners that could
affect their decision either repeat or refrain themselves from undesirable behaviour
towards criminal activities. Their choices would determine changes in their life
afterwards whether turn back as a criminalize or avoiding it. A qualitative study has been
carried out in Kuala Lumpur among sixteen recidivists, and three demisters through a
series of in-depth interviews. The analysis indicates that majority of the former
prisoners have failed to reintegrate with the community as a whole. As a result, failing
from being threaded equally in society leading them in contributing to recidivism. This
study implemented the Age Graded Theory of Informal Social Control as the theoretical
framework to understand changes that occurred during life occurrences or incidents of
these former prisoners. Hence, this analysis has been preceded to the identification of
various risk and protective factors that responding as contribution factors to their
recidivate and desistance behaviour. Thus, inputs are vital for the establishment of a
realistic community-based post-release and post rehabilitation programme that could
facilitate the reintegration process of the former prisoners. As a conclusion, the exconvictors
need to be observed in the community form time to time. Therefore, a post
rehabilition programme should be one of the initiative in bringing ex-convictors back to
normal functioning community and well blend in. In addition, post rehabilitation could
help the former prisoners to reintegrate and become an obedient and law abiding citizen. |
