Drawing on original research on the effectiveness of a therapeutic
community (TC) in reducing recidivism among juvenile male
offenders, Correctional Rehabilitation and Therapeutic Communities:
Reducing Recidivism Through Behavior Change provides a
comprehensive review of the current state of drug treatment for the
offending population, especially the link between juvenile
offending and substance abuse. The book assesses the factors
predicting successful completion of treatment as well as the
methodological limitation of previous TC program reviews, and
suggests policy implication and routes for future research. Using
improvements such as multiple outcome criteria, long-term
follow-up, matching groups on risk and needs, and the employment of
a standardized instrument to measure program quality, Correctional
Rehabilitation assesses the degree to which participation in the TC
affects antisocial attitudes and reduces delinquency. Readers will
explore how TCs can be designed to influence adolescent drug
offenders and ultimately reduce recidivism. This book is essential
reading for students, researchers, practitioners, and other
stakeholders focusing on the development of treatment programs.
