Abstract
Recent meta-analyses of the correctional treatment literature have established that some programs have successfully reduced recidivism within young offender samples. This article reveals that the positive effects of clinically appropriate treatment found in 87 tests of treatment effects are very robust. These effects are shown to withstand controls for certain methodological concerns that, in the past, have been used to undermine the otherwise positive evidence.Keywords
