Answer: Property offenders.

Explanation: Property offenders involve individuals that engage in property crime such burglary, larceny, theft, motor vehicle theft, arson, shoplifting, and vandalism etc. for the purpose of obtaining money.

According to a Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), property offenders are more likely to be re-arrested for a new crime after release from prison because they usually return back to their criminal activity. As they commit crime to obtain money, after being released from prison with no jobs to go back to, they return to their life of crime.
