What Works in Corrections, first published in 2006, examines the
impact of correctional interventions, management policies,
treatment and rehabilitation programs on the recidivism of
offenders and delinquents. 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 of sufficient scientific rigor to enable
conclusions to be drawn about the impact of various interventions,
policies and programs on recidivism. Systematic reviews and
meta-analyses were performed to further examine these results. This
book assesses the relative effectiveness of rehabilitation programs
(e.g., education, life skills, employment, cognitive behavioral),
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). Through her extensive research, MacKenzie illustrates
which of these programs are most effective and why.
