Define recidivism and explain its role in the criminal-justice system.

Recidivism is the tendency for a criminal to commit crime after release. In the criminal-justice system, this is an issue.

If the rates of recidivism are high, then you can predict that the criminal will be back in prison.

Efforts have been made to educate, train and prepare prisoners for life outside of prison. Once they get out, finding employment will not be easy. If they can't get a job, they tend to go back to crime. Jobs aren't the only barriers they face.

I believe that one of the methods to be explored is the role of the parole officer.
Currently the keep track of a parole and make sure they are following the conditions of their release and meeting with them regularly.

It could be cynicism, but if the rates of recidivism are high then the expectation is that a parolee will commit a crime again. A high level officer could actually make a difference. We need to put our heads together and start thinking outside the box.

Hamlet's fourth soliloquy is probably his most famous one - "to be or not to be."it is rather different from his previous soliloquies because now he is contemplating something that didn't come up before - suicide. he is thinking whether it is worth it to fight to find his father's murderer when in the end all of them are going to die, so why not die sooner than later. he is contemplating if he should go on fighting or just kill himself and end it all, which is why this soliloquy in particular is rather depressing, hesitant, and gives a deeper insight into hamlet's madness.
