TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - The effects of therapeutic community on recidivism up to four years after release from prison: a multisite study JO - Criminal justice and behavior A1 - Jensen, Eric L. A1 - Kane, Stephanie L. SP - 1075 EP - 1087 VL - 39 IS - 8 N2 - This research examined the effect of therapeutic community delivered in multiple sites on the likelihood of rearrest and reconviction for males up to 4 years after release from prison. With relevant covariates controlled in the analysis, completing therapeutic community had a significant effect on reducing the likelihood of rearrest for inmates with moderate probabilities of being classified as in need of therapeutic community programming. Therapeutic community did not have significant effects on reducing reconvictions. An explanation for the latter finding in sentencing policy and charging practices is provided.
