Abstract

Prevention of recidivism is the most important goal of today's criminal justice system. The aim of this study, which was designed in a cross-sectional design, was to examine the impulsivity levels and addiction characteristics of convicts with recidivism behavior and to reveal the factors that may be related. The sample of the study consisted of 230 male convicts in four different penal execution institutions; 100 of whom having a one-time offense history, and 130 with a history of recidivism. Personal information form, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11 (BIS-11) and Addiction Profile Index (API) were used as data collection tools. The findings of the study showed that lifetime substance use and risky substance use rates of recidivists were statistically significant compared to those without recidivism; impulsivity scores of recidivists were significantly higher than those of first-time offenders; and impulsive behavior increased as the severity of addiction increased in recidivists. As a result of the research, it was revealed that substance use and impulsivity may be a risk factor for re-offending. In this sense, it is thought that it is very important to carry out intervention programs effectively in both penal institutions and probation directorates within the criminal justice system in order to prevent recidivism and support rehabilitation.

Özet

Yeniden suç işlemenin önlenmesi günümüz ceza adalet sisteminin en önemli amacıdır. Kesitsel desende tasarlanmış olan bu araştırmanın amacı tekrar suç işleme davranışında bulunan hükümlülerin dürtüsellik düzeylerini ve bağımlılık özelliklerini inceleyerek ilişkili olabilecek etkenlerin açığa çıkarılmasıdır. Araştırmanın örneklemini dört farklı ceza infaz kurumunda bulunan ve tek suç öyküsü olan (100) ile tekrar suç öyküsü olan (130) 230 erkek hükümlü oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama araçları olarak kişisel bilgi formu, Barratt Dürtüsellik Ölçeği-11 (BIS-11) ve Bağımlılık Profil İndeksi (BAPİ) kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları mükerrer olan hükümlülerin hayat boyu madde kullanım ve riskli madde kullanım oranlarının suç tekrarı bulunmayan hükümlülere göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğunu; mükerrer suçluların dürtüsellik puanlarının ilk kez cezaevine giren hükümlülere göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksek olduğunu ve suç tekrarı olan hükümlülerde bağımlılık şiddeti arttıkça dürtüsel davranışın da arttığını göstermiştir. Araştırma sonucunda madde kullanımı ve dürtüselliğin yeniden suç işleme için bir risk faktörü olabileceği ortaya koyulmuştur. Bu anlamda yeniden suç işlemenin önlenmesi ve iyileştirmeyi desteklemek için ceza adalet sistemi içerisinde gerek ceza infaz kurumlarında gerekse denetimli serbestlik müdürlüklerinde müdahale programlarının etkin bir şekilde yürütülmesinin oldukça önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.
