I did some fact checking on the article you linked and it turns out it's garbage. Their own sources disagree with them.

Thanks for the link. There’s lots of limitations to this paper. I still think it’s useful in showing high recidivism, especially with your fact checking.

I think 20% is too high, even though it’s better than 30%.
