This Study's Objective Was to Investigate the Role That Family Dynamics Have In the Recidivism
Rate of Criminals In Kerala. According to the Findings of the Study, the Emotional and Instrumental
Support That Is Necessary For Ex-Offenders' Successful Reintegration into Society Is Sometimes Replaced
By Discrimination. Furthermore, the Study Found That When Ex-Offenders Are Confronted With the Inability
To Provide For Their Children, Marital Crisis, and Other Challenges That Are Unique to Ex-Convicts,
Depression Sets In and Drives Their Disposition Toward Criminal Activities. Therefore, Variables That Occur
Inside Families Also Contribute to Kerala's Exceptionally High Prevalence of Recidivism. As A
Consequence of This, It Has Been Suggested That the Criminal Justice System Implement Mechanisms To
Facilitate Positive Contacts Between Convicted Individuals and Their Families. the Goals of These
Mechanisms Would Be to Strengthen Family Ties and to Make It Easier For Families to Receive Assistance
In a More Timely Manner.
