Meta-Analysis of Rehabilitation Programs for Juvenile Delinquents

A Brief Report

RHENA L. IZZO

University of Ottawa

ROBERT R. ROSS

University of Ottawa

A meta-analysis of 46 studies of intervention programs for juvenile delinquents revealed a significant difference between programs that included a cognitive component and those that did not. Cognitive programs were more than twice as effective as non-cognitive programs. These results are consistent with previous qualitative analyses and provide support for a cognitive model of offender rehabilitation.
