The career criminal
A career criminal is a person who repeatedly participates in criminal acts for both a constant and central source of income DeLisi, 2005.
A career criminal uses crime as their only source of income, and they will commit offenses on a regular basis even after they have been released from prison. No form of rehabilitation can help a career criminal because they have antisocial behaviors and they refuse any form of rehabilitation. The career criminal continuously commits offenses and even with the best criminal justice system, they are never rehabilitated. This causes a major problem to the correctional facilities because career criminals lead to overcrowding of prisons.
Since these criminals have amassed many sentences, the judicial system is forced to sentence them to life imprisonment. The main reason been the short prison terms the offenders have been given before have had no effect, and giving them a short sentence again will only ensure they return to their criminal life after they serve their prison time. Too many career criminals also lead to increase of crime within the correctional...
This is because the career criminals will train others within the facility or influence others to take up their bad habits.
The sex offender
The sex offender is a person who commits any form of sex crime Howitt & Sheldon, 2009.
Sex crimes differ by legal jurisdiction and culture. The main forms of sex crimes include child molestation, sending obscene messages via text, rape, statutory rape, sexual assault, incest, and bestiality. According to research conducted in the United States, of the 19 sex offenders released 1 will be arrested for committing another sex crime. This indicates that a majority of sex offenders are not likely to repeat the crime.

Correctional facilities also have to invest heavily in programs for behavior modification for the sex offenders. These programs put more strain on correctional facility resources.

Offender Reentry Program Proposal The concept of offender "reentry" is beginning to take the corrections world by storm -- a much overdue storm. Reentry is the process of prisoners reentering society after a period of incarceration in a prison, jail, or detention facility. But it doesn't signify just "letting them go." It connotes that offenders are "prepared" to be released. It means that they are much better off at the time
Despite these constraints, GPS-enabled tracking systems stand to promote public safety. In this regard, Schwabe and his associates report, "Better technology for offender tracking has the potential to increase public safety by making information on offenders easier to share and utilize" (2001, p. 23). These types of surveillance systems, though, introduce new privacy concerns, even for offenders, given the fundamental constitutional rights that are involved. As Schwabe et al.
White-collar crime is a term that has existed since 1939 when it was introduced by Edwin Sutherland during his speech to the American Sociological Society. In the speech, he defined white-collar crime as an offense committed by an individual of high social status and respectability in the course of his/her occupation. These crimes also refer to financially motivated non-violent offenses carried out by governmental and business professionals. Despite the disagreements

The fact that the traditional male privilege has continuously faded away through
