rearrests
Takes back in
Rearrests is the plural noun or third-person singular verb form of rearrest, which means to arrest someone again after a previous arrest.
This typically occurs when someone who was released—whether on bail, parole, or after serving a sentence—commits another offense or violates the terms of their release.
The report showed a spike in rearrests within the first year of release.
Law enforcement agencies track rearrest rates as one measure of recidivism.
