| Summary: | Provides an overview of the role that informed principles of human service, risk, need and responsivity played in reducing violent recidivism. Adherence to each of the 4 principles received empirical support, although not to a statistically significant degree in the case of risk. Also, a composite measure, reflecting adherence to the 4 principles revealed the greatest mean reduction in violent recidivism. The principles of effective correctional treatment are discussed as key elements that should be considered in developing effective correctional interventions for reducing violent recidivism.
