TL;DR: This article examined the effect of drug court programming on multiple indicators of recidivism and found that the drug court treatment group did perform better when examining arrest for a drug-related offense.

TL;DR: This paper reviewed the debate between the two camps and sought to reconcile the differences by offering treatment recommendations within the context of understanding gendered differences, with an emphasis on reducing antisocial attitudes, antisocial peers, and antisocial personality to reduce recidivism.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the scientific literature regarding prisoner reentry initiatives is presented, where the authors synthesize a vast body of literature on the prisoner re-entry phenomenon and provide to both the academician and correctional professionals ways to understand prisoner reentration.

TL;DR: The authors reviewed what does not work with offenders and provided a long list of interventions and programs that are not effective in reducing recidivism and undermined support for correctional treatment. But, many so-called treatment programs have not fared much better Targeting noncriminogenic needs, trying to educate or talk offenders out of their behavior, providing vague unstructured programming, relying on self-help approaches, and outright quackery are not only ineffective in reducing crime but also often undermine support for Correctional treatment

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the specific responsivity principle by covering a number of factors that may impede the success of treatment programming, which range from individual-level characteristics such as motivation and cognitive ability/intelligence to external factors such as transportation, child care, and homelessness.
