Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking back to successful intervention programs of the 1970s--programs based on skill-development methods, control/surveillance techniques, psychologically oriented programs, and combinations of these procedures--Ted Palmer strongly supports these correctional intervention programs through an analysis of several recent studies, including his own. He evaluates the research to date on rehabilitation and describes the role--past, present, and future--of rehabilitation/ habilitation within the context of other correctional modalities, including the justice model philosophy. He also presents an intervention framework and a related theoretical structure that can assist in program development, intervention planning for offenders, and understanding and evaluating change-processes.
