“…With regards to control group selection, twelve studies used a matched control, one used random allocation (Bahr et al 2015) and one randomly selected the control group (Forgays and DeMilio 2005). However only six of those studies using matched controls controlled for baseline differences (Caldwell and Rybroek 2001;Caldwell et al 2006;Farrington et al 2002;Haines et al 2015;Hoogsteder et al 2018;Strom et al 2017).…”

“…Participants in seven of the studies resided in custodial placements. That is, three studies used participants from standard "young offender institutions" (Cann et al 2005;Farrington et al 2002;Hoogsteder et al 2018), one examined participants from placements described as "residential homes" (Strom et al 2017), and three consisted of therapeutic custodial placements (Caldwell and Rybroek 2001;Caldwell et al 2006;Ford and Hawke 2012). The two remaining studies recruited youth from both the community and custodial placements (Bahr et al 2015;Lindblom et al 2017).…”

“…The number of intervention participants totaled 2837, and the number of control participants totaled 2715 making a total of 5552. Of those detailing gender, five of the studies contained male participants only totaling 3582 (Caldwell and Rybroek 2001;Caldwell et al 2006;Cann et al 2005;Farrington et al 2002;Hubble et al 2015) and nine included both genders of which 1587 were male and 337 female (Bahr et al 2015;Bouffard and Bergseth 2008;Burraston et al 2014;Ford and Hawke 2012;Forgays and DeMilio 2005;Haines et al 2015;Hoogsteder et al 2018;Lindblom et al 2017;Strom et al 2017). Across all reported studies, there were 5169 male participants and 337 females.…”

“…Participation appeared to be voluntary for seven of the intervention groups (Bahr et al 2015;Burraston et al 2014;Cann et al 2005;Farrington et al 2002;Ford and Hawke 2012;Haines et al 2015;Lindblom et al 2017). For five, it appeared to be compulsory (Caldwell and Rybroek 2001;Caldwell et al 2006;Forgays and DeMilio 2005;Hoogsteder et al 2018;Strom et al 2017). It is unclear whether the intervention was voluntary or compulsory for the remaining two groups (Bouffard and Bergseth 2008;Hubble et al 2015).…”

Psychological Resilience Interventions to Reduce Recidivism in Young People: A Systematic Review

Diversion" schemes encouraging children and young people away from offending have successfully reduced the numbers of young people within the youth justice system. However, for those not successfully diverted, recidivism remains obstinately high. Many of those remaining in the youth justice system appear to have complex psychological needs. Research has also shown that many of this group have experienced a high number of adverse childhood experiences. Investigation into the potential consequences of these experiences suggests the potential disruption of normative adolescent psychological growth. Domains may include emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal development. This review assesses the effectiveness of individual interventions that had a psychological focus and succeeded in reducing recidivism. A systematic research review from 2000 to 2019 yielded 206 studies for youth offenders, and of these, 14 met the criteria for inclusion. Sample size varied greatly, from 30 to 3038. Research design, follow-up period and intervention content also varied greatly. Further, intervention success for recidivism ranged from almost total desistance to changes (increased time to re-offend) affecting only 50% of the intervention group. Psychological changes as a result of intervention included an increased sense of coherence, improved emotion recognition, more positive decision-making and reduced defiance. However, none of the studies conducted follow-up psychological assessments post-intervention. Although youth crime is a priority for policy makers, so far research has fallen short of fully examining how the development of psychological resilience via interventions may help reduce persistent offending.

There is vast empirical evidence showing that juvenile delinquency is associated with delays in moral development, including moral judgment, empathy, and self-conscious emotions (guilt and shame). Consequently, interventions have been developed that target moral development of juvenile delinquents to reduce criminal offense recidivism. However, a comprehensive synthesis of studies examining the effectiveness of these interventions was not yet available. The present meta-analysis of (quasi-)experimental research therefore examined the effects of interventions that target moral development of youth engaged in delinquent behavior. Interventions that targeted moral judgment (11 studies and 17 effect sizes) showed a significant and small-to-medium effect on moral judgment ( d = 0.39), with intervention type as a significant moderator, but no significant effect on recidivism ( d = 0.03; 11 studies and 40 effect sizes). No (quasi-)experimental studies were found that targeted guilt and shame in juvenile offenders, and an insufficient number of studies (i.e., only two) were found to conduct a meta-analysis of interventions that target empathy. The discussion focuses on potential ways to improve moral development interventions for youth engaged in delinquent behavior, and provides suggestions for future research.
