“…Further, in two studies it was stated that a subset of the participants had such a history (Danielsson, Fors, & Freij, 2011;Hatcher et al, 2008). In eleven of the 16 included studies, it was unclear how many of the participants had a history of aggressive-, violent-and/or criminal behavior although the general statements made by the investigators suggest that at least some participants had such a history.…”

“…Curulla, 1991;Danielsson et al, 2011;Hatcher et al, 2008). Two of these studies attempted to take the risk of bias due to confounding in nonrandomized trials into account by matching pairs of individuals from the ART and control arms of the trial on the potential confounder history of criminal behavior (Danielsson et al, 2011;Hatcher et al, 2008). These studies were also judged as having low risk of detection bias (i.e., due to lack of blinding of outcome assessment) for the primary outcome recidivism, as the outcome was based on official data.…”

“…Based on official justice-department records or other official records of recidivism, three studies reported the effects of ART on this primary outcome in youth (Barnoski, 2004;Goldstein, 1989 and three studies in adults (Curulla, 1991;Danielsson et al, 2011;Hatcher et al, 2008). All studies reported sufficient data to calculate and/or reported risk ratios (RR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI), although there was insufficient data reported in to adjust for the design-effect of clustering.…”

Objective: Aggression Replacement Training (ART) is a multimodal program aiming at replacing antisocial behaviors by actively teaching desirable behaviors. The program is frequently used and has been provided within a wide variety of settings, but its effectiveness in its own right has not been addressed in previous reviews. This systematic review examines the effect of ART on antisocial behavior in young people and adults. Methods: Published and unpublished literature was searched to identify randomized and non-randomized studies comparing ART for adults and youth with usual care, other interventions, or no intervention. Primary outcomes included recidivism in antisocial behavior, while secondary outcomes were related to social skills, anger management and moral reasoning. Findings: This review identified 16 studies with considerable clinical and methodological diversity. The methodological quality and the post-intervention follow-up of the studies were limited. Almost half of the studies were conducted by researchers who have vested interests in the intervention. Conclusions: There is an insufficient evidence-base to substantiate the hypothesis that ART has a positive impact on recidivism, self-control, social skills or moral development in adolescents and adults. Further research is warranted by independent investigators exploring the effects of ART on clearly-defined target groups using high standard evaluation designs.

Background: There is a growing body of literature in favor of cognitive therapy on anger in the world. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral group therapy in the reduction of state-trait anger and increase of general health among female students of Khorasgan Azad University, Isfahan. Materials and Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental research. A number of 40 students from the humanity sciences faculty of Khorasgan Azad University, who accepted the invitation to the study, were selected and randomly assigned to the experimental (n = 20 participants) and control (n = 20 participants) groups. The group therapy, based on Reilly & Shropshire's model (2000), was held in 8 weekly sessions at Khorasgan Azad University. The participants were asked to fill out the Spielberger's state-trait and general health questionnaires in the pre-test, post-test and follow-up test (6 months later). Results:The results of multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed a significant difference between the groups in the mean scores of state anger, anxiety, social dysfunction, depression, and general health in the post-test (P < 0.05). However, there was not a significant difference in the mean scores of trait anger and somatic symptom in this stage. In the follow-up stage, there was a significant difference in all the variables between the two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Cognitive-behavioral group therapy could be an appropriate approach in decreasing anger and improving general health among female students.

Aggression Replacement Training for Juveniles

Aggression replacement training is a form of structured intervention program which has been adopted by criminal justice agencies in a number of countries. Its objective is to reduce the likelihood of aggressive behavior or violent offenses by providing a series of training sessions in which individuals with a history of such behavior learn socially acceptable alternatives to aggression and violence. Originally designed for use with juveniles, its use has since been extended to work with adult offenders. This entry focuses primarily on the use of the program with youth, describing several aspects of the training, including its theoretical basis, the nature of the methods used within it, its range of application, and outcome evidence generated in support of it.
