The current study is one of few to utilize a randomized controlled trial design to evaluate the effects of a Day Reporting Center (DRC). Individuals on community supervision were randomly assigned to the DRC group or the control group. Path models examined the direct and indirect effects of DRC participation on social outcomes, revocations, and violations. Findings suggest that DRCs might effectively achieve their goals, at least in the short term and for some types of individuals. While these findings suggest that DRCs can be effective, more research is needed before definitive policy implications can be made.

拉斯维加斯到底发生了什么？：内华达州首日报告中心的随机对照试验评估结果

目前的研究是利用随机对照试验设计来评估日间报告中心 (DRC) 效果的少数研究之一。接受社区监督的个人被随机分配到刚果民主共和国组或对照组。路径模型检查了刚果民主共和国参与对社会结果、撤销和违规行为的直接和间接影响。研究结果表明，至少在短期内，对于某些类型的个人，刚果民主共和国可能有效地实现其目标。虽然这些发现表明 DRC可能是有效的，但在做出明确的政策影响之前还需要进行更多的研究。
