Wife assault treatment and criminal recidivism: an 11-year follow-up

Article Abstract:

Court-ordered treatment for wife assault has some effect on lowering recidivism for those who actually complete treatment. This study differed from research previously done in that it included long-term followup, studying 518 voluntary and court-referred assaulters in the Vancouver Assaultive Husbands Program for an 11-year period. The study suggests that therapists should use personality profiles to better screen out men who are poor treatment risks, including those with avoidant or antisocial personalities. In view of tight funding, they might also screen out those who desist from further assault without criminal justice intervention.

Pretreatment self-esteem and post treatment sexual recidivism

Article Abstract:

The relationship between self-esteem assessed prior to treatment using the self-esteem scale and sexual recidivism was explored in two samples of adult male sex offenders and sexual reconviction rates were obtained for both samples using a six-year follow-up. Lower levels of self-esteem were associated with higher sexual recidivism rates with similar trends being apparent in both the samples.

Jail drug and alcohol treatment program reduces recidivism in nonviolent offenders: A longitudinal study of Monroe County, New York's, jail treatment drug and alcohol program

Article Abstract:

One treatment program's success over 5 years is assessed to determine if drug and alcohol treatment reduces recidivism among nonviolent, short-term inmates. Monroe County's drug treatment program demonstrates that for 1year after receiving the treatment, three different cohorts of nonviolent, short-term inmates are substantially less likely to be recidivists than control group inmates.
