Refreezing is never a good idea. The repeated ice formation will destroy the structure of whatever it is you're freezing and eventually the amount of water and ice crystals in a product will affect it too much.

Can you refreeze chicken thats been thawed in water?
It isn't generally safe to refreeze raw food. This is especially true for chicken, which is contaminated with salmonella at scary-high rates. If the chicken has thawed, it isn't generally safe to refreeze it and eat it later. This is especially true if it is thawed in room-temperature water rather than being thawed in the refrigerator. Once thawed, the chicken should be cooked fairly quickly. Once cooked, it can then be frozen for later consumption.
If your meat has been thawed and refrozen is it still good?
If the meat stays below room temperature (for instance, if you have thawed it in the refrigerator) and it is quickly put back into the freezer, you can refreeze the meat with little effect on the texture and flavor of the meat. If the meat has been thawed for a day or more, or gets warmer than refrigerator temperature, it is best to cook it and then refreeze.
Can you refreeze thawed crab that has not been cooked?
The general rule for refreezing foods that have been thawed, is that you should only refreeze if there are still ice crystals present in it, or after it has been cooked. If you do refreeze, you should also reduce the amount of time before you use the food as well, since the partial thaw may have allowed spoilage to progress slightly.

It depends somewhat on the meat. However, most red meats and pork can be re-frozen with this caveat: the meat must have been thawed in the refrigerator. If it was quick thawed in water or the microwave, it should not be refrozen. It depends on how completely it was defrosted. If it still had ice crystals it was not thawed completely. If all of it got over 32 Deg F do not refreeze.
