Abstract As policy makers require more detail justifying rehabilitation expenditures, officials must take inventory on available programming and extant evidence. Unfortunately, little research can be drawn from to aid contextualizing and guiding this process. Using one state example, we report a legislative proviso which sought to investigate current and future use of correctional services. Through the lens of Risk-Needs-Responsivity, this article describes packaging research into digestible ways for policy discussions, and concludes with policy implications and guiding principles for other jurisdictions.

基于证据还是有希望的？盘点州矫正计划学到的教训

摘要由于决策者需要更多细节来证明康复支出的合理性，官员们必须清点可用的计划和现有证据。不幸的是，很少能进行研究来帮助情境化和指导这一过程。以一个州为例，我们报告了一项立法条文，该条文旨在调查惩教服务的当前和将来使用。本文通过风险-需求-响应的视角，将研究打包为可消化的方式用于政策讨论，并以政策含义和其他辖区的指导原则作为结论。
