Violence and Externalizing Behavior Among Youth in the United States (2014, background): “Despite spending hundreds of millions of dollars on delinquency prevention, it is likely that much of this spending is unguided by research findings (Greenwood, 2006).”
Public preferences for rehabilitation versus incarceration of juvenile offenders (2010, background): “Instead, the public appeared concerned about youth crime and wanted to reduce its incidence, and was ready to support rehabilitative programs as a means of accomplishing that end, so long as such programs were of demonstrated effectiveness (Cullen et al., 1983; Greenwood, 2006).”
New Evidence on the Monetary Value of Saving a High Risk Youth (2009, background): “In fact, resource allocation in the US to youth prevention programs is rather small, especially when compared to the resource allocation to more punitive responses (Greenwood 2006; Aos et al. 2004, 2006).”
Standards of Evidence: Criteria for Efficacy, Effectiveness and Dissemination (2005, background): “This is despite the fact that an appropriate economic analysis is difficult to do well when testing preventive interventions (Aos et al., 2004; Caulkins et al., 2004; Foster et al., 2003; Greenwood, 2005; Zarkin & Hubbard, 1998).”
Rehabilitation: Beyond Nothing Works (2013, background): “It is instructive that by following this coherent approach, these interventions have been shown to be successful (Greenwood 2006; Farrington and Welsh 2007; Cullen and Jonson 2012; Welsh and Farrington 2012).”
On the Malleability of Self‐Control: Theoretical and Policy Implications Regarding a General Theory of Crime (2010, background): “4 (2) The reference lists of previous reviews of early childhood prevention/ intervention programs in general and self-control improvement programs specifically were consulted (Aos, Lieb, Mayfield, Miller, & Pennuci, 2004; Aos, Miller, & Drake, 2006; Farrington & Welsh, 2007; Greenwood, 2006; Karoly”
Never too late (2010, background): “Nurse-home visitation programs, functional family therapy, and multisystemic therapy are just a few of the interventions that have been shown empirically to be effective in diminishing future delinquent involvement among children and young adolescents (Alexander et al., 1998; Henggeler, 1998; Farrin”
Effects of early family/parent training programs on antisocial behavior and delinquency (2008, background): “…cost-benefit analyses regarding two specific prevention programs, Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) and Perry Preschool (PP), indicate that these two 16 programs are somewhat costly largely because they serve each youth and family for two years and require highly trained staff (Greenwood, 2006:75).”
Emerging Findings from Research on Adolescent Development and Juvenile Justice (2012, background): “A detailed discussion of the enormous literature evaluating the effects of various sanctions and interventions is beyond the scope of this article, and this literature has been summarized many times (Greenwood, 2006; Lipsey, 1999).”
