The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of perceived risk of recidivism in the general public in comparison with actual crime statistics. Participants were 280 female university students, and they were asked to estimate risks of reincarceration of released prison inmates within five years using a web-based self-report questionnaire. Results showed that the risks of recidivism were overestimated for sex offenders and drug offenders while they were underestimated for those who committed theft, assault, and arson compared to the actual statistical data shown in the White Paper on Crime. Future research recommendation and practical implications, especially on recidivism risk communication, were discussed.
