The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Rehabilitation: Beyond Nothing Works (2013, background): “Although still in their early days, evidence is emerging that these interactions can reduce recidivism (see, e.g., Andrews and Bonta 2010; Bonta et al. 2011; Robinson et al. 2012; Smith et al. 2012).”
The impact of skills in probation work: A reconviction study (2014, background): “In the USA others were working on experiments designed to evaluate the effects of training in appropriate skills (for example Taxman 2008; Robinson et al. 2012).”
Dynamic risk and protective factors (2016, background): “Spiralling costs of crime and prisons and recent evidence that certain correctional practices can reduce re-offending (Chadwick, DeWolf, & Serin, 2015; Robinson et al., 2012; Smith, Gendreau, & Swartz, 2009) have led to a more empirical than ideological approach in many jurisdictions.”
