Abstract

The prevention of criminal potential in individuals is of enormous importance given the immense human and financial costs to society of criminal behavior. Consequently, there have been hundreds of studies of various kinds of developmental prevention programs for delinquency, and it has been proposed that the time is now to scale up some of these programs into large-scale national strategies for reducing crime. The author challenges this suggestion by first discussing the standards for judging the efficacy and effectiveness of these programs with a focus on the essential standards of replication and long-term follow-up. Next, the author examines the evidence base supporting the success of these programs and found it insufficient to justify the scale-up of any existing program. The author concludes with a recommendation for a paradigm shift for preventing delinquency.
扩大发展干预计划以防止犯罪的时机是否成熟?
鉴于犯罪行为给社会带来巨大的人力和财政成本,预防个人的犯罪潜力具有极其重要的意义。因此,已经有数百项关于各种发展预防犯罪项目的研究,有人提出,现在是时候将这些项目中的一些扩大为大规模的国家战略,以减少犯罪。作者对这一建议提出了挑战,首先讨论了判断这些计划的有效性和有效性的标准,重点讨论了复制和长期随访的基本标准。接下来,作者检查了支持这些计划成功的证据基础,发现它不足以证明任何现有计划的规模。作者最后提出了预防犯罪的范式转变的建议。
