Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council(JJWC)

Dear JJWC,

In line with my Master Thesis about the recidivism of Filipino CICL, I would like to request the following:
1. Total Number of recidivist CICL in the country.
2. Most cases offended by the CICL recidivist. 

I am planning to use this number to prove that the rate of recidivism in the country is high and that there is a need for better reintegration community-based programs for the discharged CICLs to avoid reoffense. 

I am hoping for your prompt and favorable response. 

With Thanks, 

Rafael Matthew Aspiras
