Recidivism Among Federal Drug Trafficking Offenders

This report, Recidivism Among Federal Drug Trafficking Offenders, examines a group of 10,888 federal drug trafficking offenders who were released in calendar year 2005. These 10,888 offenders, who were all U.S. citizens, represent 42.8 percent of the 25,431 federal offenders who were released in calendar year 2005 and analyzed in the Commission’s 2016 report, Recidivism Among Federal Offenders: A Comprehensive Overview.  In the future, the Commission will release additional publications discussing specific topics concerning recidivism of federal offenders.

This report would be useful to law enforcement, criminal psychologists and profilers, policymakers, members of government and Congress, and committees concerned with drug trafficking and law enforcement.  Additionally, students writing essays about Federal drug crimes may also be interested in this primary source book for essential research and facts.
