A three year postprogram follow-up of the CaVIC probationers : the effects of selection of officers, supervision by volunteers and supervision practices on recidivism / Don Andrews, W. Friesen, Jerry J....: JS4-1/1984-82E-PDF

"CaVIC (Canadian Volunteers in Corrections) was a three year study of the quality and effectiveness of the one-to-one supervision of adult probationers. The study was conducted in the Ottawa Adult Probation and Parole Office during the mid-1970's. The present paper reports on the results of a three year postprogram follow-up of the CaVIC probationers. A postprogram follow-up is important in order to examine the persistence of treatment effects. It is equally important to examine the possibility that the factors which relate to postprogram recidivism may not be the same as the factors which relate to inprogram recidivism. Crime control is one widely-accepted objective for corrections and we must take seriously the possibility that correctional efforts may have differential effects on inprogram and postprogram recidivism"--Introduction, page [1].
