It includes a variety of mechanisms, such as client-therapist matching, using culturally relevant terminology or communication styles, and treatment coordination with traditional healers. When the goal of the research is to see if or how much an intervention reduces recidivism, then the more negative the effect size, the greater the reduction.
According to Dr. Jeffrey Butts at John Jay College of Criminal Justice Research and Evaluation Center, the most successful juvenile justice interventions generally have an effect size between It is designed to improve family communication and supportiveness while decreasing intense negativity and dysfunctional patterns of behavior. Multi-systemic Therapy MST MST is an intensive family- and community-based treatment that addresses the multiple causes of serious antisocial behavior in juvenile offenders.
This may occur when juvenile justice programs or practices end up being used in a way that sends youth into the justice system or keeps them there to receive treatment when they would not likely have entered or remained in the system otherwise. Protective Factors Protective factors decrease the potential harmful effect of risk factors.
Examples include an easy temperament, healthy social supports, good problem-solving ability, or a strong commitment to school. Also known as buffers or strengths. It can be measured in a number of different ways, such as through re-arrest, re-adjudication, and re-incarceration. Recidivism data can be gleaned from a variety of sources, such as self-report, arrest records, and court records.
Scared Straight Scared Straight programs generally involve the interaction of at-risk youth or youth involved in the juvenile justice system with adult inmates who describe the brutal, negative conditions they experience while incarcerated in order to shock, scare, and deter youth from committing offenses. Standardized, Empirically-Validated Tools This term refers to tools with the following characteristics: [15].
Statistical Significance Statistical significance is the likelihood that the effect observed in an experiment was due to more than just chance. Systematic reviews often use statistical techniques such as meta-analysis to compare the studies; results are integrated using a recognized methodology. Although some of these offences would be thought to be too trivial to pursue in a formal process, they still would be appropriate for restorative programmes because injuries have resulted, parties need restoration.
Moreover, to stave off future offending, perhaps the first-time offence needs to meet with a societal response. Finally, sanctions imposed under conditions of net-widening would be agreed upon by the parties directly involved, instead of by the State apparatus. Net-widening may not be undesirable if it is accompanied by institutional restructuring.
That is, if social control by State-run institutions are decreased with a concomitant increase in social control by victims, offenders and communities. Under these circumstances, expansion of restorative processes narrows the net of State social control. Evidence of this effect exists. Some researchers have reported that restorative conferences reduced the numbers of juveniles in court and custody.
