• Payment by results and social impact bonds in the criminal justice sector: New challenges for the concept of evidence-based policy? (2011, background): “(Lipsey and Cullen, 2007: 315, emphasis added) Lipsey and Cullen’s (2007) concern stems from the wide range of treatment effects represented by average effects expressed in each meta-analysis.”
• Validating the Principles of Effective Intervention: A Systematic Review of the Contributions of Meta-Analysis in the Field of Corrections (2009, background): “Of those incarcerated, approximately 600,000 offenders are released into the community each year ( Lipsey & Cullen, 2007 ).”

(2015) 39See Lipsey and Cullen (2007) for a review.”
• The Principles of Effective Correctional Treatment Also Apply To Sexual Offenders (2009, methodology): “The evidence supporting effective treatment for general offenders is strong, including large numbers of studies—many of the highest methodological rigor (see Andrews & Bonta, 2006, chapter 10; Lipsey & Cullen, 2007; D. B. Wilson, Bouffard, & Mackenzie, 2005).”
