“…It is essential to rehabilitate juvenile offenders, as they are at the beginning of their criminal careers (Mills et al, 1988). Prison rehabilitation processes are complex and challenging due to prison conditions, incarceration pains, and the criminogenic environment (Harding, 2014; Mastrobuoni & Terlizzese, 2014), added to which are the complexities and challenges of adolescence and emerging adulthood (Pereira et al, 2023). Most rehabilitation literature emphasizes the importance of therapeutic continuity (Elisha et al, 2017; Hasisi et al, 2016).…”

IntroductionDisparities in evaluating readiness to change and recidivism risk across diverse cultural groups can profoundly affect rehabilitation program efficacy. This study examines readiness to change and recidivism risk disparities between Israeli‐Arabs and Israeli‐Jews entering a re‐entry program by the Prisoner Rehabilitation Authority postrelease.MethodThe University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale questionnaire gauged readiness to change, whereas the Ohio Youth Assessment System‐Residential tool assessed recidivism risk. The sample included 151 participants: 98 Israeli‐Arabs and 53 Israeli‐Jews. Mean differences in change readiness and recidivism risk were statistically assessed through t tests.ResultsSignificant differences emerged in change readiness levels between Israeli‐Arabs and Jews upon rehabilitation program entry, with Israeli‐Jews exhibiting higher readiness. Additionally, a noteworthy divergence in recidivism risk was noted, indicating elevated average risk for Israeli‐Jews.ConclusionsFindings underscore the vital need for cultural sensitivity during admission. Bias potential in assessing risk for Arab participants emphasizes the necessity of a comprehensive culturally sensitive approach. While focusing on admission, the Risk‐Need‐Responsivity model application could enhance risk evaluation and guide culturally tailored treatments.
