Human Agency and Explanations of Criminal Desistance: Arguments for a Rational Choice Theory (2015, background): “Further, MacKenzie’s [53] review of correctional treatment effectiveness has highlighted the success that cognitive-behavioral programs have had in reducing recidivism.”
Never too late (2010, background): “There is growing evidence, including meta-analyses of hundreds of treatment studies, showing that interventions reduce recidivism for juvenile and adult offenders (Lipsey and Wilson, 1998; Maguire, 2002; Howell, 2003; Andrews and Bonta, 2006; MacKenzie, 2006; Lipsey and Cullen, 2007; Lipsey, 2009).”
Does Inmate Behavior Affect Post-Release Offending? Investigating the Misconduct-Recidivism Relationship among Youth and Adults (2014, background): “Certainly, a large and emerging body of scholarship on prisoner reentry suggests that a range of programs and policies may improve life outcomes of released inmates (see, e.g., Cullen and Gendreau 2000; MacKenzie 2006; Pratt 2009; Mears 2010; Wilson and Petersilia 2011).”
How Effective Is Correctional Education, and Where Do We Go from Here? The Results of a Comprehensive Evaluation (2014, background): “More recent reviews, using meta-analysis techniques, question the conclusions of the earlier work, finding evidence of a relationship between correctional education program participation before release and lower odds of recidivating after release (Wilson, Gallagher, and MacKenzie, 2000; MacKenzie, 2”
Evaluating the Minnesota Comprehensive Offender Reentry Plan (MCORP): Results from a Randomized Experiment (2012, unknown): “The “what works” literature suggests that providing offenders in need of these types of programming can significantly increase their chances of making a successful transition to the community (MacKenzie, 2006).”
Low-intensity community supervision for low-risk offenders: a randomized, controlled trial (2010, unknown): “Overall, the evidence on the effectiveness of these programs at reducing recidivism of high-risk offenders is doubtful, given very few significant differences and a split in the direction of the effect (MacKenzie 2006: 311).”
Indeterminate and Determinate Sentencing Models (2014, methodology): “With improved analytical methods (i.e., meta-analysis), post-Martinson researchers also established that the “nothing works” thesis was overblown (MacKenzie, 2001, 2006; Martinson, 1979).”
Employment After Prison: A Longitudinal Study of Former Prisoners (2011, background): “Many experts believe that such experiences are the key to successful reintegration (Bushway & Reuter, 2002; Good & Sherrid, 2005; Rossman & Roman, 2003; Sampson & Laub, 1993, but see MacKenzie, 2006 for an alternate view).”
Prisons Do Not Reduce Recidivism (2011, methodology): “These interventions have been shown to reduce recidivism and thus to be an important tool in protecting public safety (Andrews & Bonta, 2010; MacKenzie, 2006).”
Prison Visitation and Recidivism (2012, background): “There nonetheless remains a considerable need for studies that can provide greater insight into how incarceration experiences may affect reentry, and, more broadly, how ex-prisoner recidivism can be reduced (Visher and Travis 2003; MacKenzie 2006; Clear 2010).”
The Empirical Status of Social Learning Theory: A Meta‐Analysis (2010, background): “This movement is more advanced in, and has had an important impact on, the areas of correctional intervention and crime prevention (see, e.g., Andrews & Bonta, 2006; Cullen & Gendreau, 2000; Lipsey & Cullen, 2007; Losel, 1995; MacKenzie, 2006; Sherman, 2003; Sherman, Farrington, Welsh, & MacKenzie, ”
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Correctional Education: A Meta-Analysis of Programs That Provide Education to Incarcerated Adults (2013, background): “According to our review, there have been three major published meta-analyses that meet these criteria: Wilson, Gallagher, and MacKenzie (2000); MacKenzie (2006); and Aos, Miller, and Drake (2006).”
A systematic review and meta-analysis on the effects of young offender treatment programs in Europe (2013, background): “These metaanalyses report positive effects for general, violent, sexual, and other offender groups (Andrews et al. 1990; Andrews and Bonta 2010; Aos et al. 2006; Hanson et al. 2002; Hollin and Palmer 2009; Lipsey 1992; Lipsey and Cullen 2007; Lipsey and Wilson 1998; Lösel 1995, 2012a; Lösel and Schm”
