Common use of Recidivism Clause in Contracts

Recidivism. Reflects the re-offense recidivism rate within a set period of time from a juvenile’s last exit from a post- adjudication residential placement facility. A juvenile may be represented in multiple fiscal years, but only once within a fiscal year. A juvenile is considered a Re-Offense recidivist if the juvenile was arrested or referred for a subsequent Class B misdemeanor offense or an offense of higher severity within one year of their placement date out. Steps are taken to ensure the alleged offense date also occurred after the placement exit date to represent a true recidivism event.
