A retrospective analysis of 40 archived case files of program completers was conducted, extracting relevant data from reports to evaluate pre- and post-intervention changes. The data were analyzed using McNemar's test in SPSS. Results revealed a significant reduction in the presence of dynamic risk factors-such as issues related to social and psychological needs-following program completion. These findings provide empirical support for the application of the RNR and GLM models in community-based rehabilitation, demonstrating their potential to effectively reduce the propensity for reoffending.","PeriodicalId":48041,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology","volume":" ","pages":"1016-1036"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13191066/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145565962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results indicate that both staff groups report significantly greater safety and sleep quality outcomes than incarcerated people, while security staff also reported better emotional wellness than the incarcerated population.

Although criminological research has identified many predictors of punitive attitudes toward traditional criminal offenses, less is known about how citizens evaluate punishments for violations of newly introduced rules adopted under emergency conditions. The key explanatory variables in our study include beliefs in attribution of human behavior, self-commitment to compliance with COVID-19 mandates, trust in government, and the fear of COVID-19 infection. Data for the study come from 508 respondents from St. Petersburg, Russia's second-largest city, who participated in an online survey during the first wave of the pandemic in May 2020. Findings suggest that citizens who believe in the free-will explanations of human nature and those who are more likely to comply with pandemic-mitigating laws feel that the punishments imposed for violating the pandemic-related laws were not severe enough. Additionally, those who trust the government's effectiveness and integrity in controlling COVID-19 are more punitive, a finding contrary to crime-related punitiveness research. Together, these findings indicate that support for sanctioning pandemic-related violations is closely tied to rule-related evaluations, including responsibility attribution, institutional trust, and personal commitment to compliance. The study contributes to criminological research by showing that established explanations of punitive attitudes may operate differently when applied to newly institutionalized crisis rules.","PeriodicalId":48041,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology","volume":" ","pages":"306624X261461614"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148303516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As many jurisdictions are now focusing more on men who solicit sex (MSS), understanding who these men are is important for more effective interventions and prevention of illegal sex solicitation. In the current scoping review, authors examined 54 works (i.e., scholarly and non-peer-reviewed, published on any date, published in English) on MSS in the United States. Based on these works, findings are categorized and discussed based on common themes, such as behavioral and psychological characteristics, motivations and potential etiology of solicitation, and prior efforts of rehabilitation. The manuscript concludes with suggestions for important next steps in research and intervention. Examination of this understudied group of MSS may serve to inform criminal justice professionals in the effort to decrease the demand of illegal sex solicitation. As a result, professionals may more effectively reduce the victimization of women involved in the commercial sex market.","PeriodicalId":48041,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology","volume":" ","pages":"306624X261460186"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148220373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This systematic review synthesizes evidence on experiential psychotherapies, including mindfulness-based interventions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), yoga, meditation, and creative arts therapies delivered in forensic settings to adult males. Twenty-four studies met inclusion criteria. Thematic synthesis identified three outcome domains: (1) psychological and emotional well-being, including reductions in stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms; (2) behavioral and cognitive regulation, including improved impulse control and prosocial identity shifts; and (3) recidivism and desistance, with several studies-particularly those examining Transcendental Meditation and structured mindfulness programs-reporting reduced reoffending. Evidence for Compassion Focused Therapy and most creative arts therapies was limited or absent. Overall, findings suggest experiential psychotherapies may support emotional regulation, identity change, and desistance, though heterogeneity in study design and outcomes limits generalizability and highlights the need for more rigorous longitudinal research.","PeriodicalId":48041,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology","volume":" ","pages":"306624X261456565"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148145084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this qualitative study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 35 detainees in a Dutch prison, asking questions about their encounters with police officers, prison staff, judges, and probation officers. The findings showed that the majority of detainees raised issues of procedural justice, indicating that procedural justice plays an important role for them. In addition, five elements primarily shaped detainees' perceptions of procedural justice: (1) trustworthy motives, (2) interpersonal treatment, (3) neutrality, (4) participation, and (5) agency and process information.

This service evaluation assessed the effectiveness of compulsory forensic treatment for offenders with substance abuse in reducing recidivism. The study compared recidivism rates of 279 offenders who received mandated treatment under Section 64 of the German Criminal Code with those of a matched control group of 274 incarcerated individuals. An additional propensity score analysis confirmed the adequacy of the case-to-case matching. Over a mean follow-up of 6.5 years, the absolute risk reduction remained stable at around 16.5%, with recidivism rates at 7 years of 63.4% in the treatment group and 80.3% in the prisoner group. These findings attest to the effectiveness of compulsory addiction treatment in reducing recidivism compared to subjects who only serve a prison sentence, even though a substantial number (48%) of patients had been returned to prison but were still included in the treatment group at follow-up (intention-to-treat-analysis).
