- 1BackgroundDeveloped by Beck in the 1960’s
Supposedly decreases re-conviction by 10%
Believes change comes from the individual
Identifies, then challenges and corrects faulty thinking
Done through counselling which needs willing involvement - 2Background - Enhanced Thinking SkillsAddresses thinking/behaviour associated with offending
Impulse Control → Resisting Urges
Flexible Thinking → Thinking of different ways of solving problems
Social Perspective Thinking → Learning to see situation from other person's perspective
Moral Reasoning → Thinking about right and wrong
Reasoning → thinking about consequences of behaviour
Inter-Personal Problem Solving → How to settle disputes - 3Background – Reasoning & RehabilitationFocuses on those with anti-social behaviour, and have committed violent crimes
= Not effective for those cognitively skilled
36 sessions taken
Similar to ETS → changing maladaptive thoughts - 4AimTo find out if cognitive skill programmes were effective in terms of lower re-offending rates
- 5Sample180 females
→ started ETS or R&R between 1996 and 2000
→ 14 non-completers
Comparison – 540 female offenders not on course
= Custodial sentence of 6 months or more
= And completed at least 1 year in community after - 6ProcedureExpected reconviction rates calculated based on risk (high, medium or low)
Reconviction rates calculated for 1 and 2 years after release
ETS and R&R examined for effectiveness - 7ResultsNo significant difference found between treated/non-treated prisoners on expected reconviction rates
No difference found between groups for actual reconviction after 1 or 2 years
No differences for ETS
→ But R&R significantly more likely to re-offend - 8ConclusionEarlier study in 2003 with males found significant difference (FRIENDSHIP ET. AL)
↳ But one year later was unable to find difference
Results might be since programme was based on men's issues
Not always delivered in prisons consistently
