Measuring Recidivism: Using the Data in Meaningful Ways

Advice From the Inside Out

In this episode, we explore how and why it’s important to measure recidivism. And how we use that data to move the needle forward and break the cycles of recidivism for our students. In addition, we highlight the topic of how other countries fair with their recidivism rates. What countries are successful in changing their recidivism rate for the better? We have a conversation with Dr. Holly Child, Director of Research and Development at Santa Clara County Probation, and get her personal perspective on all these topics and more, on Advice from the Inside Out. Special thanks to our graphic artist, Tess Buckley.
