“…For example, findings from evaluations of recent large scale criminal justice reforms, such as the Home Office Crime Reduction Program in England and Wales, indicate that problems during implementation of new correctional programs and services significantly influence treatment outcomes (Furniss & Nutley, 2000;Mair, 2004;Merrington & Stanley, 2000;Raynor, 2004). Similar experiences have been reported in Canada and the United States (Bernfeld, Farrington & Leschied, 2001;Bourgon & Armstrong, 2005;Farabee et al, 1999;Ferguson, 2002;Petersilia, 1990). These studies suggest that basing correctional programs on good research and theories is not enough.…”
