One More for the Books: A Program Review of Delinquent Rehabilitation.

Glassner SD and Carey MT

The current study analyzes the effectiveness of a treatment program aimed at reducing juvenile recidivism by offering various pro-social services. Results from this non-theoretical evaluation are consistent with the theoretically derived “risk” and “needs” principles. Findings from various logistic regression models showed that high-risk juveniles (parolees) exposed to the treatment demonstrated significantly lower levels of recidivism than did low-risk juveniles (probationers). Practical and real-world guidelines for future rehabilitative program evaluations are discussed so as to inform future research. Additionally, pragmatic policy implications concerning juvenile rehabilitation are described.
