“…The best method of achieving comparability is to allocate offenders at random to the different disposals. This has never been done for convictions versus cautions, although it was done by Rose and Hamilton (1970) in comparing cautions alone and cautions combined with supervision.…”

“…However, critics of cautioning argued that it might lead to a widening of the net of recorded offenders, to the extent that less serious offenders who would not have been prosecuted in court before 1970 became officially cautioned from 1970 onwards. Indeed, between 1968 and1970 in London, the number of arrests of 10-to 13-year-olds increased by 85%, and the number of arrests of 14-to 16-year-olds increased by 44% (after allowing for the impact of the Theft Act in 1969; see Farrington and Bennett, 1981).…”

“…The author concludes that the B...the existence of any difference between the reformative effects of the two punishments is very doubtful^(p. 440). Rose and Hamilton (1970) report on the effects of randomly assigning nearly 400 male juveniles in trouble with the law to either receive a warning from police or to be supervised by a juvenile liaison officer. They report that recidivism rates for both groups were similar in follow-ups through 30 months.…”

Randomized controlled trials have become an important component of evidence-based policy in criminal justice. Because searches of electronic bibliographic databases often miss relevant trials, handsearch Y or the visual inspection of the contents of an article Y is recommended as an additional search strategy. In this paper, we conducted an electronic handsearch of every available issue of the British Journal of Criminology (1960Y2004) to determine how many randomized field experiments were published. We compare these results to earlier manual handsearch efforts to augment the Campbell Collaboration Social, Psychological, Educational and Criminological Trials Register (C2-SPECTR). We find only nine trials (although two used quasi-random allocation such as alternation), and just one published in the past 20 years. We discuss some possible reasons for this, and conclude with a modest agenda for improving the reporting of evidence in the age of evidence-based policy.

“…Unfortunately, the treatment had little effect. Regrettably, the efficacy of diversion in preventing reoffending has not been assessed in a controlled experiment since the interesting research of Rose and Hamilton (1970).…”

Quantitative criminology research published in the United Kingdom (England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland) in the 1990s is reviewed. Publications are divided into five topical categories: measurement; explanations or correlates; police or crime prevention; sentencing; and correctional treatment. The most sophisticated studies are on longitudinal and criminal career research, correlates of victimization, quasi-experimental analysis of policing strategies, prediction of reconviction and sentencing, and evaluation of correctional treatment using statistical controls. More fundamental long-term research on the causes ofcrime is needed, together with more concern for reliability and validity issues, and more evaluation research including controls for extraneous variables using quasiexperimental or (preferably) experimental techniques.
