Encouraging Desistance from Crime
这篇综述总结了如何干预现有罪犯以减少犯罪行为并改善社会福利的实证证据,对关注减少再犯和公共政策的读者有用。
Half of individuals released from prison in the United States will be re-incarcerated within three years, creating an incarceration cycle that is detrimental to individuals, families, and communities. There is tremendous public interest in ending this cycle, and public policies can help or hinder the reintegration of those released from jail and prison. This review summarizes the existing empirical evidence on how to intervene with existing offenders to reduce criminal behavior and improve social welfare.
