Area of Science:

  • Forensic Psychology
  • Correctional Treatment
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Limited research exists on effective firesetting treatment, particularly for incarcerated populations.
  • Existing interventions face challenges in practical implementation within correctional facilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and describe a novel, short-term treatment program for firesetting offenses.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed program in a correctional setting.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an eight-session program, Intervention for Firesetting Offenses (INFO).
  • INFO integrates psychoeducation, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies, and relapse prevention.
  • Program implementation and evaluation demonstrated through a case study of an incarcerated arson offender.

Main Results:

  • The INFO program was feasibly implemented within the correctional setting.
  • The participant showed improved understanding of firesetting motivations and risk factors.
  • A relapse prevention plan was successfully developed to mitigate future offending.

Conclusions:

  • The short-term INFO program is a viable and effective treatment for incarcerated individuals with firesetting offenses.
  • The integrated approach of INFO addresses key aspects of firesetting behavior and recidivism risk.
  • Further research should explore broader implementation and efficacy of INFO in diverse correctional populations.
