“…Almost all these studies are concerned with the effects of increasing, rather than reducing, the frequency of contacts and reducing officer caseloads-the hallmarks of ISP (Petersilia and Turner 1993). Overall, the evidence on the effectiveness of these programs at reducing recidivism of high-risk offenders is doubtful, given very few significant differences and a split in the direction of the effect (MacKenzie 2006: 311).…”

“…The finding comes from her secondary analysis of data collected from areas across the US that were selected by the Bureau of Justice Assistance in 1986 to receive funding to explore the effects of ISP. The main effects of these programs are reported in Petersilia and Turner (1993). Hanley selected 1,100 cases from the dataset that were deemed to be low or high risk based on risk factors measured in the original study.…”

The Philadelphia Low-Intensity Community Supervision Experiment provides evidence on the effects of lowering the intensity of community supervision with low-risk offenders in an urban, US county community corrections agency. Using a random forests forecasting model for serious crime based on Berk et al. low-risk offenders were identified and randomly assigned to either standard or reduced frequency of mandatory office visits. Treatment as assigned was substantially delivered at 4.5 probation visits per year versus 2.4, for as long as offenders remained on active probation or parole. In a one-year followup for all cases, outcomes examined were the prevalence, frequency, seriousness and time-to-failure of arrests for new crimes committed after random assignment was implemented. No significant differences (p=.05) in outcomes were found between standard and low-intensity groups. Non-significant differences for offense seriousness favored the low-intensity group. We conclude that lower-intensity supervision at the tested level of dosage can allow fewer officers to supervise lowrisk offenders in the community without evidence of increased volume or seriousness of crime.

“…However, research on the issue has shown no support for the argument that violating parolees on technical conditions suppresses new criminal arrests. 99 Accordingly, there is no solid evidence to support the conclusion that solely increasing parole supervision will result in fewer crimes.…”

“…Parole often results in technical violations that effect penalization as well (Petersilia and Turner 1993). In this article, we compare parole success and recidivism for a cohort of offenders who were released via traditional parole (also known as straight parole) to a matched group of incarcerated offenders released via a less commonly utilized form of reentry: reentry through a residential program, or halfway house.…”

This article seeks to identify short and long term effects of halfway house completion on parole success and subsequent recidivism from a sample of offenders released from a northeastern state's correctional facilities between 2004 and 2008. Using propensity score matching techniques, we compare parolees released to parole after successfully completing a residential treatment program to a matched group of parolees released directly into the community from a correctional facility. Analyses show that parolees who successfully complete a halfway house program are more likely to successfully complete parole but the effect on residential programming on long-term recidivism are negligible.
