1 Fundación Paz Ciudadana Seminar, Santiago de Chile October 2010 Outcome evidence on offender rehabilitation: the role of probation programmes James McGuire University of Liverpool, UK 1
2 Objectives To present a general overview of the current evidence base for reducing offender recidivism: Large scale outcome research/meta analytic review Some practical examples To describe recent practice in probation services in England and Wales: The range of programmes used and theoretical models Outcome effects and implications 2
3 Where does crime come from? Levels of explanation in criminological theory Level: Focus: Objective: Illustrative theories: 1 Society To explain crime as a 2 Local areas, communities large scale social phenomenon To account for geographical variations in crime Conflict theory, Strain theory Sociological control theories Feminist theory Ecological theories Differential opportunity theory 3 Proximate To understand the roles Sub cultural delinquency theory Differential association theory social groups of socialisation and group influence 4 Individual To analyse and account criminal acts 5 Individual offenders for patterns and types of crime events To examine intraindividual factors e.g. thoughts, feelings and behaviour Routine activity theory Rational choice theory Neutralization theory Psychological control theory Cognitive social learning theory Mental disorder 3
4 Longitudinal studies of human development elopment Conducted in: Finland, Sweden, Denmark, UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand Cohorts followed for periods up to 40 years Large samples, wide range of data collected Retrospective versus prospective designs Multiple l l sources of evidence Accelerated / parallel cohorts in some studies Construct models of change over time 4
5 How far can the criminal i justice system affect the crime rate? Numbers of offences Numbers of individuals 5
6 Risk factors: variables recurrently associated with serious and/or persistent offending Poor parental supervision, low attachment to families Difficulties i in school and employment Network of delinquent associates Manifestation of anti social attitudes Distorted / biased patterns of information processing Poor personal and social skills Low levels of self control; impulsiveness Negative emotions and low level of constraint 6
7 Approaches to crime reduction Primary prevention situational prevention (preventing crime at places), policing long term developmental prevention, system level investment Secondary prevention work with at risk groups Tertiary y prevention work with adjudicated offenders, criminal justice/penal system 7
8 The evidence base on reducing recidivism There are many hundreds of basic studies evaluating interventions to reduce criminal recidivism There were 75 meta analyticanalytic reviews as of mid 2008 Positive (and significant, though modest) mean effect size Some interventions have negative effects (...they make people worse!) There is a consistent patterns in combination of features that can increase effect sizes considerably These can also result in significant cost savings The principles of effective intervention are well understood (e.g. the Risk Need Responsivity model) 8
9 The Risk Need Responsivity (RNR) model (Andrews, Bonta & Wormith 2006) Identify general risk factors for offending At an individual level those most reliably supported include: criminal associates low level of self control / self management poor self regulation of negative emotion limitations in cognitive or social skills anti social attitudes Use offence analysis and case formulation to identify combination for an individual Deliver interventions taking account of contextual variations and situational ti requirements 9
10 Meta analysis of interventions for violence (Dowden & Andrews, 2000) 34 studies, 52 effect sizes 70% of studies with adult samples Mean effect size: Range from 0.22 to Effect size for punitive sanctions: 0.01 Effect size for human service principles : Correlation of 0.69 between the number of criminogenic needs targeted and outcome effect size (p<.001) 10
11 Meta analysis analysis of interventions to reduce sexual offending (Lösel & Schmucker, 2005) 69 studies Total sample n = 22, tests Randomization: 6; statistical controls: 7 Mean effect sizes (odds ratios): For sexual recidivism: (37% reduction) For violent recidivism: i (44% reduction) For general recidivism: (31% reduction) 11
12 Meta analysis of interventions for serious violent and sexual offending by young people: EFFECT SIZES FOR SPECIFIC INTERVENTIONS (Lipsey & Wilson 1998; Garrido & Morales 2007) COMMUNITY (k=117) INSTITUTION (k=83) Intervention Effect size Intervention Effect size Positive effects, consistent Individual counselling 0.46 Interpersonal skills 0.39 Interpersonal skills training 0.44 Teaching family home 0.34 Behavioural programmes Positive effects, less consistent Multiple services 0.29 Behavioural programmes 0.33 Restitution, probation/ 0.15 Community residential 0.28 parole Multiple utpeservices
13 Is offender treatment of practical significance? Comparative effects sizes for selected interventions Intervention Treatment target Effect size Aspirin Risk of myocardial infarction Chemotherapy Breast cancer Bypass surgery Coronary heart disease 0.15 AZT HIV/AIDS 0.23 Psychological therapy Mental health problems 0.32 Treatment of offenders Recidivism: overall effect 0.10 Recidivism: appropriate service
14 Guidelines for effective programmes Adapted from Andrews, Gendreau, Lipsey, Hollin, Lösel, and others Employ a sound theoretical base using evidence from psychology and criminology Use a personality and social learning approach Avoid retribution and deterrence strategies Focus on dynamic risk factors & targeted interventions Use evidence based d risk assessment and allocation Use best validated methods Use community based services where possible Use methods that activate behavioural and cognitive change
15 Guidelines for effective programmes (...continued) Use multi modal approaches focusing on a range of needs General responsivity: learning styles and high quality relationships Specific responsivity: adapt interventions to groups Identify areas for use of personal discretion by staff Monitor programme and treatment integrity Develop an agency plan Develop staff skills Develop management framework Establish wider community and societal links
16 Variations in effect sizes (McGuire, 2004) The figure shows effect sizes for selected types of interventions from meta analytic reviews, to illustrate the range of findings obtained. In the graph, the vertical line represents zero change (no difference between experimental and control samples). Bars extending to the right represent increases in recidivism amongst experimental samples relative to controls. Bars to the left represent reductions in recidivism. 16
17 Effectiveness of cognitive behavioural programmes (Lipsey et al, 2007) Review of 58 studies published between Majority quasi experimental designs: only 33% randomized Average follow up interval of 12 months. Mean Odds Ratio = 1.53 This corresponds to a 25% reduction in recidivism. Significant heterogeneity: (Q) = No significant differences found between randomized and nonrandomized designs. Most prominent moderators = risk level of the participants, and the quality of implementation of programme. Mean Odds Ratio for studies with best practice features = This corresponds to a 52% decrease in recidivism. 17
18 Cost benefit analysis of programmes The graph shows the ratio of benefits (money saved) relative to costs (money invested) for a number of intervention programmes. Aos, S., Phipps, P., Barnoski, R. & Lieb, R. (2001). The Comparative Costs and Benefits of Programs to Reduce Crime. Olympia, WA: Washington State Institute for Public Policy. 18
19 The evolution of programmes: Local and national projects in the UK Experimental Day Training Centres (1970s) as alternatives to prison Other staff led initiatives in local areas Elements of programmes gradually introduced (1970s 1980s) 1980s) Increasing emphasis on offence focused work: 1985 The Mid Glamorgan Straight Thinking on Probation (STOP) experiment (1991) Prison based sex offender programme (SOTP) introduced (1992) Partial dissemination of positive results through conferences ( e.g. What Works ) (1992, 1994, 1996, 1998) Prison based General Accreditation Panel established in 1996 Government commissioned reviews of research: 1997, 1998 Home Office Crime Reduction Programme: 2000 onwards Establishment of fcorrectional lservices Accreditation i Panel 19

44 Some conclusions (so far) We can be more confident than ever regarding the evidence: on reducing recidivism outcomes on economic outcomes (benefit cost analysis) There is a strong case for retaining programmes as a core component of an effective criminal justice strategy However, improvements in effect sizes might not be a matter of developing better programmes, but of improving delivery More research is needed d on contextual t and other factors that influence programme implementation, individual engagement, g and quality of services There is evidence that criminal justice could be made more cost effective through a significant transfer of resources from prison to probation 44
