The noun RECIDIVIST has 2 senses: 1. someone who is repeatedly arrested for criminal behavior (especially for the same criminal behavior). 2. someone who lapses into previous undesirable patterns of behavior. Familiarity information: RECIDIVIST used as a noun is rare.

Studies in Texas indicate that the longer an offender remains in and completes a treatment program (more than 3 months), the less the likelihood of recidivism.
