its interesting that both relatively liberal countries (Norway) and harsh ones (Singapore) seem to have low recidivism rates - I suspect high rates in UK after 5-6 years are due to lack of employment opportunities for those with criminal records, but there's a dilemma for smaller companies and those dealing with general public/vulnerable folk as there is a real risk in hiring someone who has been capable of committing violence or serious dishonesty - although employers nowadays aren't that bothered about drug use or traffic offences (unless these are serious/repeated offences)
