reconvictions
Further criminal convictions
Reconvictions are subsequent criminal convictions after an earlier one—a measure used in criminal justice to assess reoffending rates.
The study tracked reconvictions within two years of release.
The term appears most often in policy discussions and recidivism research: Reconvictions dropped among participants in the rehabilitation program.
