Assessing Readiness for Treatment in Violent Offenders

近年来，刑事司法系统越来越多地将暴力罪犯确定为康复计划的关键目标群体，愤怒管理计划现已在大多数司法管辖区广泛实施。然而，最近的研究评估了这些愤怒管理项目的结果，表明只有一些参与者可能受益。这项研究的目的是开发一种方法来确定那些可能受益的人的个体特征，以便有针对性地提供资源和干预措施。这项研究将有助于提高方案执行的效率，从而有助于减少暴力犯罪。

In recent years criminal justice systems have increasingly identified violent offenders as a key target group for rehabilitation programs and anger management programs have now been widely implemented in most jurisdictions. However, recent research evaluating the outcomes of these anger management programs suggests that only some participants are likely to benefit. The aim of this research is to develop a method of identifying the individual characteristics of those who are likely to benefit, so that resources and interventions can be targeted. The research will help to improve the effectiveness of program delivery thereby contributing to the reduction of violent crime.
