Effective rehabilitative treatments for adult offenders have the potential to ameliorate offenders' extensive psychological and behavioral problems, increase the probability of stable, productive social adjustment upon release from criminal justice supervision, reduce reoffense rates, and decrease the burden on human service agencies. The large body of research on the effectiveness of such treatment, however, has not been well integrated and analyzed for purposes of identifying and applying "best practices" to the steadily increasing populations of adult offenders in the criminal justice system. The project proposed here is a comprehensive meta-analysis of experimental and quasi-experimental research oriented toward identification of the program configurations likely to produce the most positive outcomes in practical application. The major objectives of this project are as follows: 1. To assess the effects of rehabilitative treatment for adult offenders on multiple outcomes, including psychological functioning, behavioral problems, social relations, substance use, employment, and reoffending. 2. To determine the comparative effectiveness of different treatment types, circumstances, formats, settings, dosage, and implementation with an emphasis on identifying the distinctive characteristics of the most effective interventions. 3. To determine the comparative effects of different treatments for different offenders so that especially effective matches between type of treatment and type of offender can be identified. 4. To examine the relationships between the changes produced by effective rehabilitative treatments on each major type of outcome and those produced on other outcomes. In particular, to determine which treatment-induced changes are most closely associated with reductions in reoffending and thus help identify the pathways through which the treatment may have effects on criminal and antisocial behavior.

对成年罪犯的有效康复治疗有可能改善罪犯的广泛心理和行为问题，增加刑事司法监督释放后稳定，富有成效的社会调整的可能性，降低再犯罪率，并减轻人类服务机构的负担。 然而，关于这种治疗有效性的大量研究尚未得到充分整合和分析，目的是确定和应用“最佳实践”，以对刑事司法系统中成年罪犯的稳步增加。 这里提出的项目是针对识别可能在实际应用中产生最积极结果的程序配置的实验和准实验研究的全面荟萃分析。 该项目的主要目标如下：1。评估对成年罪犯的康复治疗对多种结果的影响，包括心理功能，行为问题，社会关系，药物使用，就业和再犯罪。 2。确定不同处理类型，情况，格式，设置，剂量和实施的比较有效性，重点是确定最有效干预措施的独特特征。 3。为了确定不同罪犯的不同治疗方法的比较效应，以便可以确定待遇类型和罪犯类型之间的有效匹配。 4。检查有效康复治疗对每种主要结果的有效康复治疗所产生的变化与其他结果产生的变化之间的关系。 特别是，要确定哪些治疗引起的变化与减少犯罪的减少最密切相关，从而有助于确定治疗可能对犯罪和反社会行为产生影响的途径。
