摘要

行为和心理神经学研究表明，18至24岁的年轻人可能更受益于康复而不是惩罚性刑事司法方法。为了实证检验这一假设，本文研究了加州圣克拉拉县青少年暂缓服刑（YADEJ）康复项目的影响。通过关注教育、就业、住房和生活技能，YADEJ旨在降低圣克拉拉县年轻人的再犯罪率。本文采用匹配模型作为基准方法。本文采用差异中的差异和回归不连续设计来检验基线结果的稳健性。本文提供的证据表明，在加州圣克拉拉县，参加YADEJ项目的年轻人的再犯率比接受成人矫正方法的年轻人低约20个百分点。这一发现在统计上是显著的，稳健的，在数量上是有意义的。

Is rehabilitative approach to criminal justice better for young adults? Evidence from Santa Clara County, CA

Behavioral and psychoneurological research indicates that young adults 18 to 24 years old are likely to benefit more from rehabilitative over punitive criminal justice approaches. To test the hypothesis empirically, the paper studies the impact of a rehabilitative Young Adult Deferred Entry of Judgement (YADEJ) program in Santa Clara County, CA. By focusing on education, employment, housing, and life skills, YADEJ aims to reduce reoffending rates among young adults in Santa Clara County. The paper uses matching models as the baseline methodologies. The paper employed Difference-in-Differences and Regression Discontinuity Design to test the robustness of the baseline findings. The paper provides evidence of lower recidivism rates, in the magnitude of about 20 percentage points, among young adults who participated in the YADEJ program relative to those subject to the adult correction approach in Santa Clara County, CA. The finding is statistically significant, robust, and quantitatively meaningful.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Criminal Justice is an international journal intended to fill the present need for the dissemination of new information, ideas and methods, to both practitioners and academicians in the criminal justice area. The Journal is concerned with all aspects of the criminal justice system in terms of their relationships to each other. Although materials are presented relating to crime and the individual elements of the criminal justice system, the emphasis of the Journal is to tie together the functioning of these elements and to illustrate the effects of their interactions. Articles that reflect the application of new disciplines or analytical methodologies to the problems of criminal justice are of special interest. Since the purpose of the Journal is to provide a forum for the dissemination of new ideas, new information, and the application of new methods to the problems and functions of the criminal justice system, the Journal emphasizes innovation and creative thought of the highest quality.
