Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to assist counselors in implementing RE-thinking Avenues for Change (REACH), a cognitive behavioral therapy developed for clients with a first-time driving under the influence (DUI) offense who are enrolled in a DUI program. The goal of REACH is to prevent drinking and driving. The authors conducted a randomized clinical trial evaluating how helpful REACH was compared with existing DUI groups in program for individuals with a first-time DUI offense, and they found that clients who received REACH reported lower odds of impaired driving upon program completion than did clients in existing groups. This manual presents the 12-session REACH protocol used in the research study. Each session is interactive and encourages clients to share ideas and information; examine the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that put them at risk for future drinking and driving; learn or enhance existing coping skills; and provide fellow group members with peer support.

Book Evaluating the Impact of Two Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Programs on Recidivism in Chronic Juvenile Offenders

Download or read book Evaluating the Impact of Two Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Programs on Recidivism in Chronic Juvenile Offenders written by Christine Gerchow and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of the present study was to examine the effect of two cognitive behavioral therapy programs on recidivism in a sample of chronic youthful offenders (N = 156) and to evaluate the relationship between commonly identified recidivism risk factors (i.e., prior criminal charges, parental history of criminal behavior, gang involvement, mental health diagnoses, and number of probation violations) and re-offending. All participants were male, 19 to 23 years of age, and were currently, or had been, under the supervision of a Western state's county probation department. Participants were court-mandated to take either Aggression Replacement Training (ART, n = 90) or ART and Thinking for Change (T4C, n = 66). Survival analyses controlling for different custody release dates indicated that ART+T4C participants demonstrated lower recidivism rates than ART-only participants. The difference was first clearly depicted around Day 300 post-release when approximately 45% of ART-only participants had been arrested compared to 35% of ART+T4C participants. The difference became more apparent by day 500 when 80% of ART-only participants had been arrested compared to 40% of ART+T4C participants. The data provide a statistically significant defense that ART+T4C treatment participants are likely to remain in the community longer without re-arrest than ART-only participants. Regarding recidivism risk factors, a Kaplan Meier survival curve indicated that mental health diagnoses, history of parental arrest, gang involvement, felony, violent and weapons charges, and probation violations did not predict faster time to arrest. Interestingly, the Kaplan Meier analysis indicated that non-violent charges pre-treatment predicted post-treatment re-offending.

Book excerpt: This unique volume discusses research, policy, and treatment approaches to one of America’s most serious problems--the drunk driver.

Their thorough descriptions will help you better understand the drunk driver, and their exploration of new sentencing and treatment strategies provides a comprehensive look at the options to confronting and solving the problem of alcohol and traffic safety in the United States. Chapters challenge many long-held assumptions about those who drink and drive; address policy issues; examine the need for culturally specific education and training programs for police, court officials, and human service providers; and offer helpful suggestions for designing programs for women and adolescent offenders.

Unfortunately, criminal behavior surrounds us in our society—from petty theft and vandalism to multimillion-dollar white-collar crime to shocking terrorism attempts and school killings.

In this four-volume reference work, a unparalleled team of leading experts offer an exhaustive look at the history, developments, emerging and classic research issues, controversies, and victories in the expanding field of criminal psychology. The first volume examines the general theories in the study of criminal psychology. The second volume focuses more specifically on research of criminal behavior and crime types, while the last two volumes delve into criminal justice and forensic applications. The comprehensive content allows readers to better understand criminal behavior and appreciate the specific criminal justice and forensic settings in which this theory and research is applied, such as criminal profiling, forensic assessment of danger, and correctional rehabilitation and offender reentry.
