What’s on the Measuring Reoffending poster
A 5-row table: Measure · Captures · Limitation.
Every measure counts something different and misses something else.
- Rearrest — Police contact — Highest count, weakest proof
- Reconviction — Court outcome — Misses undetected offending
- Reimprisonment — Return to custody — Reflects sentencing policy
- Self-report — Behaviour reported — Depends on candour and recall
- Breach or recall — Rule violation — Not new offending at all
Educational reference. Two reoffending rates are comparable only if measure, follow-up window and cohort definition all match.

- Who is the Measuring Reoffending poster for?
- Measuring Reoffending belongs to the Criminal Justice section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning corrections can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Measuring Reoffending poster?
- Check the measure, the window and the cohort before quoting any reoffending figure. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Measuring Reoffending belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Measuring Reoffending?
- Release and Parole, Short Custody or Community and Desistance sit alongside Measuring Reoffending in the Criminal Justice section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Release and ParoleShort Custody or CommunityDesistance
- Is the Measuring Reoffending poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Measuring Reoffending downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Criminal Justice section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Measuring Reoffending poster print at?
- Measuring Reoffending is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Measuring Reoffending loses nothing.Printing guide
