Summary
Adult offenders often fail treatment due to low self-efficacy, negative views of treatment, and poor emotional regulation. Lack of choice and support also hinders successful completion of offender treatment programs.
Area of Science:
- Criminology
- Psychology
- Public Health
Background:
- Offender rehabilitation programs are crucial for reducing recidivism.
- Understanding barriers to treatment completion is vital for program effectiveness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review reasons for non-attendance and non-completion of treatment among detained adult offenders.
- To identify key factors influencing offender engagement in rehabilitation.
Main Methods:
- A systematic literature search identified 2,827 articles.
- 13 studies met inclusion criteria and underwent quality assessment.
- Qualitative synthesis of extracted data from selected studies.
Main Results:
- Common reasons for non-completion include low self-efficacy, negative perceptions of treatment, staff, and peers.
- Emotional regulation difficulties and lack of perceived choice/control were significant factors.
- Inadequate opportunities for group engagement and insufficient staff support were also identified.
Conclusions:
- Findings align with the Multifactor Offender Readiness Model (MORM).
- Addressing psychological, social, and environmental factors is key to improving offender treatment completion rates.
- Program design should incorporate elements that enhance self-efficacy, emotional regulation, and perceived control.
