“…Structured interventions result in more positive outcomes (Leak, 1980;Morgan & Flora, 2002), as does the use of homework (Morgan & Flora, 2002) which helps offenders over-learn information and extend learning to the offenders' real world (Morgan, Kroner, & Mills, 2006). Despite the environment, service providers who relate to offenders in interpersonally sensitive and constructive manners achieve better outcomes (Andrews & Bonta, 2006;Skeem, Eno Louden, Polaschek, & Camp, 2007). In summary, the most empirically supported interventions for offender populations adhere broadly to principles of R-N-R with a cognitive-behavioral frame-work by individuals with a firm but caring relational style (Skeem, Polaschek, & Manchak, 2009).…”

The purpose of this research synthesis was to examine treatment effects across studies of the service providers to offenders with mental illness. Meta-analytic techniques were applied to 26 empirical studies obtained from a review of 12,154 research documents. Outcomes of interest in this review included measures of both psychiatric and criminal functioning. Although metaanalytic results are based on a small sample of available studies, results suggest interventions with offenders with mental illness effectively reduced symptoms of distress, improving offender's ability to cope with their problems, and resulted in improved behavioral markers including institutional adjustment and behavioral functioning. Furthermore, interventions specifically designed to meet the psychiatric and criminal justice needs of offenders with mental illness have shown to produce significant reductions in psychiatric and criminal recidivism. Finally, this review highlighted admission policies and treatment strategies (e.g., use of homework), which produced the most positive benefits. Results of this research synthesis are directly relevant for service providers in both criminal justice and mental health systems (e.g., psychiatric hospitals) as well as community settings by informing treatment strategies for the first time, which are based on empirical evidence. In addition, the implications of these results to policy makers tasked with the responsibility of designating services for this special needs population are highlighted.

“…The probation or parole officer performs various tasks to assist the probationer or parolee and also has discretionary powers regarding the probationer or parolee. Given this important dual role, it therefore seems highly likely that differences between individual probation or parole officers matter for the treatment probationers and parolees get (Andrews 1980(Andrews , 2011Andrews et al 2011;Bonta et al 2008;Grattet et al 2011;Palmer 1995;Paparozzi and Gendreau 2005;Schwalbe and Maschi 2009;Seng and Lurigio 2005;Skeem et al 2007;Taxman 2008).…”

Objectives Use a unique dataset to pair probation and parole officers and their clients in Denmark in [2002][2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009] to identify causal effects of these officers on labor market outcomes and recidivism.Methods To identify these effects, we rely on data from all probationers and parolees in Copenhagen, where a rotational assignment process randomizes clients to officers. We apply OLS models to test whether the inclusion of probation and parole officer fixed effects improves model fit, and we show the impact of officer fixed effects by generating predicted values for one individual, varying only the officer.Results The first stage of the analysis shows that the assignment of a probation or parole officer is indeed random in Copenhagen-at least in regards to the vast majority of background characteristics-suggesting that we are able to identify causal effects of probationer and parolee assignment on labor market outcomes and recidivism. The second stage of our analysis shows that although to a lower degree than common sense might suggest, probation and parole officers do matter for their clients' dependency on public benefit transfers (around 10 percentage points) and criminal recidivism (around 30 percentage points), whereas earnings are unaffected. ConclusionAs no study has yet to identify causal effects of probation and parole officer assignment, this study makes a novel contribution to the literature on the effects of criminal justice contact on subsequent life-course outcomes. Although generalizability to the US context is uncertain because we rely on Danish data, our findings nonetheless point in interesting directions for future research.

BackgroundTherapeutic relationships are a central component of community treatment for psychosis and thought to influence clinical and social outcomes, yet there is limited research regarding the potential influence of professional characteristics on positive therapeutic relationships in community care. It was hypothesised that professionals’ relating style and attitudes toward their work might be important, and thus this exploratory study modelled associations between these characteristics and therapeutic relationships developed in community psychosis treatment.MethodsDyads of professionals and young patients with psychosis rated their therapeutic relationships with each other. Professionals also completed measures of attachment style, therapeutic optimism, outcome expectancy, and job attitudes regarding working with psychosis.ResultsProfessionals’ anxious attachment predicted less positive professional therapeutic relationship ratings. In exploratory directed path analysis, data also supported indirect effects, whereby anxious professional attachment predicts less positive therapeutic relationships through reduced professional therapeutic optimism and less positive job attitudes.ConclusionsProfessional anxious attachment style is directly associated with the therapeutic relationship in psychosis, and indirectly associated through therapeutic optimism and job attitudes. Thus, intervening in professional characteristics could offer an opportunity to limit the impact of insecure attachment on therapeutic relationships in psychosis.
