Gang violence creates serious safety and security concerns in the community and prisons. Treated gang and nongang members recidivated significantly less in a 24-month follow-up than their untreated matched controls. Treatment consisted of high intensity cognitive-behavioral programs that follow the risk, need, and responsivity principles (Andrews & Bonta, 2003). The treated gang members who recidivated violently after treatment received significantly shorter sentences (i.e. they committed less serious offences) than their untreated matched controls. Untreated gang members had significantly higher rates of major (but not minor) institutional offences than the other three groups. Correctional treatment that follows the risk, need and responsivity principles appears able to reduce recidivism and major institutional misconduct. Effective correctional treatment should be considered as one of the approaches in the management and rehabilitation of incarcerated gang members.
帮派暴力给社区和监狱带来了严重的安全问题。在为期24个月的随访中，接受治疗的帮派成员和非帮派成员的再犯率明显低于未接受治疗的匹配对照组。治疗包括遵循风险、需求和反应性原则的高强度认知行为项目（安德鲁斯和邦塔，2003年）。治疗后暴力再犯的帮派成员所获刑期明显短于未接受治疗的匹配对照组（即他们所犯罪行较轻）。未接受治疗的帮派成员的重大（而非轻微）机构内犯罪率明显高于其他三组。遵循风险、需求和反应性原则的惩教治疗似乎能够降低再犯率和重大机构不当行为。有效的惩教治疗应被视为管理和改造在押帮派成员的方法之一。
