    The development of guidelines to enhance the framework for the management of recidivism in the department of correctional services in the Western Cape
    (University of the Western Cape, 2023) Samuels, Jerome Alec; Roman, Nicolette Vanessa
    Recidivism could be considered an emerging science in South Africa. While recidivism has not been researched extensively or defined in South Africa, the statistics are also severely limited, but estimated rates of recidivism are unacceptably high. Recidivism in South Africa is an emerging science. The management of recidivism is, therefore, unclear. Hence, this study aimed to develop guidelines for the management of recidivism in the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) in the Western Cape in South Africa. A qualitative research approach was used in this study. This method was chosen to understand the perceptions of DCS employees and its stakeholders and their shared experiences managing recidivism in a correctional environment.
