The purpose of this IQP was to study the problem of recidivism in the United States. We hypothesized that by improving the quantity and quality of Re-entry programs as well as changing certain policies relating to Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) Reports in Massachusetts, many ex-offenders would have a greater chance at reintegration into our society after incarceration as opposed to returning to a life of crime.
