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 timelier manner.
