This literature review -- a follow-up to "Effectiveness of
Correctional Treatment; a Literature Survey" (2000) -- is an
update of the international literature on the effectiveness of
correctional programs in general, with the literature review of
the Netherlands focusing on programs and therapies for sexual and
violent offenders and their outcomes. |
| Abstract:
|
A special effort was made to determine research results on the
effectiveness of programs for ethnic minorities in the
Netherlands. Since the Netherlands is considering piloting a
reasoning and rehabilitation (R&R) program, evaluation findings
for such programs in European countries were reviewed. The
literature review found that cognitive behavioral programs were
the most successful. Although this was true for sexual offenders,
the results were not as conclusive. There is a wealth of
literature on cognitive-behavioral programs for sexual offenders;
such programs have been implemented in prisons in England and
Scotland. In the Netherlands, programs for sexual offenders have
been modeled after North American programs in targeting empathy
for victims, cognitive distortions, denial or minimization, and
relapse prevention strategies. The literature on treatment
effects for violent offenders is inconclusive. In the Netherlands
there are no programs specifically designed for violent
offenders, although some programs have a component that aims to
strengthen aggression control. Maximum-security hospitals have
therapies for violent offenders with mental disorders. There has
been no research on recidivism. There was no specific literature
on the effectiveness of correctional programs for sexual and
violent offenders of ethnic minorities in the Netherlands.
Research results on R&R programs provided by the probation
service in England are positive. In the Scandinavian countries,
research results on treatment effects were positive, although
there were no recidivism results yet, given that the period of
implementation had been too short. 94 references |
