Here is a better one.  If you google "usa likelihood violent offenders
repeat," the first non-AI response you will get is from the United States
Sentencing Commission.

They say that "63.8% of violent offenders recidivated by being rearrested
for a new crime or for a violation of supervision conditions."  They also
note that this is a higher rate than for non-violent offenders.

I am sure that a few of them are committing new acts of violence while in
custody, but it sounds like a high percentage of them (nearly 2/3rds) are
in trouble again within ~8 years and I am guessing most of that nearly
2/3rds are ones who were released.

Note that this percentage is only for *federal* violent offenders.

Another link that shows up is from the NIH and was published in 2013.  It
claims that 1% of the population accounts for 63.2% of all convictions.  It
potes that "the majority of violent crimes are perpetrated by a small number
of *persistent* violent offenders."  Persistent being a key word.

The NIH goes on to say that this group of persistent offender is typically
male and usually have a pattern of early-onset violent offenses, substance
abuse, personality disorders, and also a history of non-violent offenses.

I mention the year in this last one as proof that it didn't come out in the
last 6 weeks.  Another important note is that, for whatever reason, the US
NIH was studying *Swedish* violent criminals and not US criminals. (???)

Back to the good ole USA and CNN has an article whose headline seems to
contradict the US Sentencing Commission data.  They claim that violent
criminals are rarely rearrested "for the same offense."
That last bit may be key.
