- Description
- high crime rate in South Africa showed an increase in 2018 with recidivism being the highest contributing factor. The increase in recidivism rates is a result of many factors, including the ineffectiveness of rehabilitation programmes. In an attempt to combat the increase in recidivism, its causes have been examined from a number of perspectives, especially social factors. However, very few studies have focussed on psychological factors when studying crime in South Africa. International studies have found personality factors to be a contributing factor towards recidivism. Concordantly, international studies have also established a correlation between early maladaptive schemas, a core component of personality, and crime. This study aimed to explore early maladaptive schemas among reoffenders in Gqeberha, South Africa. The objective of the study was to establish the prevalence of EMS in a sample of repeat offenders from the National Institute for Crime Prevention and the Reintegration of Offenders (NICRO) in Gqeberha. The study used a quantitative methodology and a sample size of 14 participants was utilised. Convenience sampling was utilised to identify reoffenders. The data was collected by administering a short demographical questionnaire and the Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ). Descriptive statistics and Spearman’s correlations were utilised to analyse the data.
