Effective Interventions with Offenders – New Stock has arrived
The view of the 1970s and ’80s – that in terms of rehabilitation programmes, nothing works – continues to exert an influence that is no longer deserved. Over the last twenty years more than 2,000 published evaluations and 75 meta-analyses have shown that carefully designed and delivered interventions, supported by good supervision, at their best make a real difference to the reoffending rates. Their effectiveness is comparable to that of counselling for mental health issues.
What are the keys to an effective programme? One thing is clear – rehabilitation is advanced work. This book offers answers drawn from the research and experience of New Zealand practitioners across the field – it includes the learnings of those who work with offenders in prison and in the community, with men and women in separate programmes, with youth and with Māori and Pacific people. One contribution considers the legal question: since programmes are now shown to be effective, do offenders have a right to treatment?
