Corrections-based education, vocation, and work programs are a major rehabilitative component of our correctional system. Recent reviews the research literature raise doubt about effectiveness these in reducing recidivism. This study meta-analyzed recidivism outcomes 33 independent experimental quasi-experimental evaluations found that program participants recidivate at lower rate than nonparticipants. The generally weak methodological character studies, however, prevents attributing this...
Many respondents to opinion surveys say that the citizen's race influences how police officers treat public, yet recent expert social‐science panels have declared research findings are too contradictory form a conclusion on whether American biased against racial minorities. We perform meta‐analysis of quantitative estimates effect decision arrest. Screening nearly 4,500 potential sources, we analyze results based 27 independent data sets generated 40 reports (both published and unpublished)...
A synthesis of 319 meta-analyses psychological, behavioral, and educational treatment research was conducted to assess the influence study method on observed effect sizes relative that substantive features interventions. An index used estimate proportion size variance associated with various features. Study methods accounted for nearly as much variability in outcomes characteristics Type design operationalization dependent variable were largest variance. The a result sampling error about...
In this paper we present the event-chain algorithms, which are fast Markov-chain Monte Carlo methods for hard spheres and related systems. a single move of these rejection-free methods, an arbitrarily long chain particles is displaced, long-range coherent motion can be induced. Numerical simulations show that algorithms clearly outperform conventional Metropolis method. Irreversible versions violate detailed balance, improve speed method even further. We also compare our with recent...
Procedural justice theory posits that people will view law and legal institutions as more legitimate be willing to cooperate comply with these their agents when treated in a procedurally just manner. While research supports this basic premise, questions remain about the influence of race on process, especially wake several recent highly publicized controversial deadly force incidents involving white officers black suspects. In study, 546 participants were randomly assigned one six videos...
Replication is an essential part of the scientific method, yet replication systematic reviews too often overlooked, and done unnecessarily or poorly. Excessive (doing same study repeatedly) unethical a cause research wastage. This article provides consensus based guidance on when to replicate not reviews.
This Campbell systematic review examined the effect of ordering violent partners to undergo treatment. The researchers summarized best studies in this area and analyzed whether court‐mandated treatments prevent repeated assaults. conclusion is that current evidence raises doubts about effectiveness treatment reducing probability domestic violence. Existing research can therefore not guarantee actually do more good than harm. emphasizes even though there an acute need for methods stop...
