“…The most common treatment programs used inside U.S. juvenile facilities include various forms of cognitive behavioral therapy. Cognitive behavioral interventions operate from the premise that people who offend have flawed moral reasoning, limited impulse control, and distorted thinking patterns that contribute to offending (Lipsey, Chapman, & Landenberger, 2001). Cognitive behavioral interventions are specifically aimed at correcting or changing these flawed thinking patterns and replacing them with pro-social thoughts (Lipsey, Chapman, & Landenberger, 2001;Yochelson & Samenow, 1976).…”

Increasingly, juvenile detention and correctional facilities in the U.S. are relying on cognitive behavioral therapies in the context of the popularity of "evidence-based practices" (EBPs) (Abrams, 2013).…”

JUVENILE CORRECTIONS IN THE ERA OF REFORM 2In this paper, the authors synthesize knowledge from select qualitative studies examining rehabilitation-oriented juvenile residential corrections and aftercare programs. Using metasynthesis methodology, the authors extracted and coded content from 10 research studies conducted by five authors across criminology, sociology, and social welfare disciplines. The total number of published works based on those studies analyzed was 18. Collectively, these studies offer insight into three major components of the juvenile correctional experience: therapeutic treatment and evidence-based practices, the shaping of identities and masculinities, and preparation for reentry. This analysis is particularly important as the United States is currently in an era of reform during which policymakers are increasingly espousing the benefits of rehabilitation for youth offenders over punishment. These studies took place before during and after this era of reform, and yet the findings are surprisingly consistent over time, raising key questions about the effectiveness of the reform strategies. (Barton & Butts, 1990;Benda, 2001;Fagan, 1996;Hockenberry, Sickmund, & Sladky, 2011, Loughran et al., 2009Schneider, 1986).States interested in improving upon their conditions of confinement are often more likely to prioritize quantitative evaluations of their programming rather than qualitative studies about the landscape of confinement. The benefits of quantitative research may be more evident to policymakers because they appear to be more strongly rooted in positivist concerns with obtaining hard data about the relationships between interventions and recidivism rates, even though qualitative studies may be more effective in elucidating context-specific concerns as well as the contradictions and challenges of evidence-based practices.There are significant barriers to conducting scholarly research inside juvenile facilities Through meta-synthesis, this study contributes to existing knowledge about youth confinement by analyzing data from studies conducted in various regions of the U.S. The research collectively points to how these dimensions of facility life and experiences of reentry influence factors related to desistance from crime, such as young people's ability to access prosocial relationships with others, their sense of self-efficacy, and the structural conditions and barriers to change (Mulvey et al., 2004). Rather than focusing on the extremes of abuse, violence, and social control, this meta-synthesis examines some of the softer dimensions of life inside-the meanings of interventions in the lives of young people and their consequences for life after confinement; the role of institutional life in shaping identity; and the unique role that incarceration plays in young people's gender identity and performance.

“…Amongst the 46 interventions included in this review, the ratio of effect sizes for those with and without cognitive-training components was 2.5 to 1. A recent systematic review by Lipsey et al (2001) has confirmed cognitive-behavioural programmes as amongst the most consistently effective approaches to reduction of recidivism at the 'tertiary prevention' level. Problem-solving methods are a standard ingredient in programmes of this type.…”

“…(Helmond, Overbeek, & Brugman, 2012 , p. 13) Beyond introducing social skills, then, the Dutch trainers in most cases implemented none of the other aspects of the social skills curriculum. RAC (and its parent program EQUIP) can certainly be included among the referents for Lipsey, Chapman, & Landenberger ( 2001 ) conclusion that "a great deal of improvement may be possible in the implementation of [cognitive-behavioral] programs" (p. 155). Given adequate implementation, however, the evidence overall suggests that EQUIP and RAC can induce responsible behavior among initially antisocial individuals.…”
