Summary Note "The book reviews different strategies for reducing recidivism and describes how the evidence for effectiveness is assessed. Thousands of studies were examined in order to identify those those of sufficient scientific rigour to enable conclusions to be drawn about the impact of various interventions, policies and programs on recidivism ... This book assesses the relative effectiveness of rehabiliation programs (e.g., education, life skills, employment, cognitive behavioural), treatment for different types of offenders (e.g., sex offenders, batterers, juveniles), management and treatment of drug-involved offenders (e.g., drug courts, therapeutic communities, outpatient drug treatment) and punishment, control and surveillance interventions (boot camps, intensive supervision, electronic monitoring)." - Back cover.
