dc.description.abstract | The
offence risk posed by individuals who are arrested, but where subsequently no charge or cau-
tion is administered, has been used as an argument for justifying the retention of such individuals?
DNA and identification profiles. Here we consider the UK Home Office arrest-to-arrest data analy-
sis, and find it to have limited use in indicating risk of future offence. In doing so, we consider the
appropriateness of the statistical methodology employed and the implicit assumptions necessary for
making such inference concerning the rearrest risk of a further individual. Additionally, we offer an
alternative model that would provide an equally accurate fit to the data, but which would appear to
have sounder theoretical justification and suggest alternative policy direction. Finally, we consider
the implications of using such statistical inference in formulating national policy, and highlight a
number of sociological factors that could be taken into account so as to enhance the validity of any
future analysis | en |
