Between July 2010 and June 2011, around 630,000 offenders were cautioned, convicted (excluding immediate custodial sentences) or released from custody. Around 170,000 of these offenders committed a proven re-offence within a year. This gives a one year proven re-offending rate of 26.9 per cent, which represents a rise of 0.5 percentage points compared to the previous 12 months and a fall of 1.0 percentage points since 2000.

Whilst that is true the reason why so many offenders re offend is partly because it is very hard for offenders to get that chance in the first place so many feel they have no other choice but to go back to crime .In reality ex offenders that really want to work and go straight tend to be extremely loyal and hard working because they Know that if they blow one chance they may never get another.
In evans' case i don't think he has a shortage of offers from clubs but he has to battle public opinion and the media who feel they have the right to control the rest of his life ,i don't think he will reoffend but problems ex offenders have in getting good jobs or any job means he should be allowed to take the offer and if that is a football club then so be it
