    Thank you for adding the context to my 20% figure. I remembered running into it, but did not know it was the two year rate, and an improper comparison.

    For proper comparison, the US 2 year recidivism rate is 35%. (and that 80% figure I cited is a 10 year rate)

      Thank you. I actually didn’t realize that the 80% rate for the USA was a 10 year rate. 20% vs. 35% over two years is clearly still impressive, but now I want to see what the Norwegian rate is at 10 years for a proper comparison but I can’t seem to quickly find it.
