Recidivism ( pron.: / r ɨ ˈ s ɪ d ɨ v ɪ z əm / ; from recidive + ism , from Latin recidīvus "recurring", from re- "back" + cadō "I fall") is the act of a person repeating an undesirable behavior after they have either experienced negative consequences of that behavior, or have been treated or trained to extinguish that behavior. It is also used to refer to the percentage of former prisoners who are rearrested. [ 1 ] The term is most frequently used in conjunction with criminal behavior and substance abuse (often synonymous with " relapse " - more commonly used in medicine and in the disease model of addiction ). For example, scientific literature may refer to the recidivism of sexual offenders , meaning the frequency with which they are detected or apprehended committing additional sexual crimes after being released from prison for similar crimes.

The following books are just a tiny smidge of the countless great works of literature available today.

It is a melancholy object to those who walk through this great town or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads, and cabin doors, crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags and importuning every passenger for an alms. These mothers, instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in strolling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants: who as they grow up either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country to fight for the Pretender in Spain, or sell themselves to the Barbadoes.

Myths-Dreams-Symbols -The Individuation Process
The first step is taken towards self-realization { individuation } when you meet your 'shadow'. This is so called because it is the 'dark' side of your psyche , the parts of yourself that you have not previously brought into the light of consciousness . It is, for this reason, the 'primitive' (undeveloped or underdeveloped) side of your personality. It is also the 'negative' side of your personality, insofar as it is the opposite of whatever you have hitherto regarded as making a positive contribution to your well being. In dreams your shadow may be represented either by some figure of the same sex as yourself (an elder brother or sister, your best friend, or some alien or primitive person) or by a person who represents your opposite (and of the same sex).

Heuristic ( pron.: / h j ʉ ˈ r ɪ s t ɨ k / ; or /hy oo - ris -tik/; Greek : "Εὑρίσκω", "find" or "discover" ) refers to experience-based techniques for problem solving, learning, and discovery. Where the exhaustive search is impractical, heuristic methods are used to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution; mental shortcuts to ease the cognitive load of making a decision. Examples of this method include using a rule of thumb , an educated guess , an intuitive judgment, or common sense . In more precise terms, heuristics are strategies using readily accessible, through loosely applicable, information to control problem solving in human beings and machines. [ 1 ] [ edit ] Example
