In their article, Risk Factors for Criminal Recidivism in Older Sexual Offender, Seena Fazel, Gabrielle Sjostedt, Niklas Langstrom, and Martin Grann, address the topic of how sexual offenders are less likely to repeat again if they are released from prison at an older age, whereas young sexual offenders are more likely to repeat the crime if they are released. The authors back up their claim by including information and data that they collected from a study that was done in a prison in Sweden. In order to get their point across, they include the data targeting different age groups and the risk factors that were involved within each individual age group. The target audience of this piece is a non-favorable audience that is more open-minded.
