Key findings of the report include the following:
- Suspended sentences or community service can be more effective in terms of reducing recidivism than short terms of imprisonment.
- Planned and structured early release, including parole, may reduce recidivism.
- Perception of fairness may have an impact on likelihood of recidivism. A perception of procedural unfairness can lead to alienation, resistance and noncompliance whereas a belief that one has been treated fairly may reduce the likelihood of future offending.
- There appears to be a significant treatment effect associated with cognitive behavioural interventions delivered both in community and custodial settings.
