Abstract
The recidivism rate among prisoners in Finland slowly decreased as their age increased. We can see that the most extreme example in the year 2014, the rate of young prisoners from the age group of 15 to 20 the rate started at 91% and dropped to 66% as the age group changed to 21 to 29, then dropped to 59% as the age group changed into 30 to 39 years old then the rain dropped to 51 percent faster age group reached to 40 to 49 years old, and finally, the rate prisoner that is 50 years or older there rat of recidivism dropped to 35 percent. Finland has a high recidivism rate. According to a theory, the high rate of recidivism is due to Finland's penal policy. Finland has a very soft penal policy, which can be the main reason why Finland has a high recidivism rate. Finland has high research value as one of the countries with a high recidivism rate. The analysis and comparison of the recidivism situation between Finland and other countries have important implications for the global security and anti-crime system.
