Over the past ten years or so, much of my effort has been devoted to working with correctional agencies around the country. During this time, I have conducted hundreds of workshops and training sessions on evidence-based practices and programs for offenders. My current and former doctoral students and I have assessed over 360 correctional programs of all shapes and sizes, including those serving adults as well as juveniles, those in prisons, and those conducted in the community. During this time, I have seen some of the worst that corrections has to offer, as well as some of the best. I have seen programs that I would not refer anyone to, and programs that have had a demonstrated effect on offender behavior and recidivism. I have also had the opportunity to work with many dedicated and committed people, and I am indebted to those who have not given up the quest for new knowledge and advancement in correctional research. Among those whom I have had the pleasure to work with and learn from include some of the giants of correctional rehabilitation: Paul Gendreau, Don Andrews, and Frank Cullen. There are many others, but space does not permit me to thank them all individually. I am forever in their debt. This brief prelude brings me to the purpose of this essay: to discuss the challenge of change in corrections.
