This article reports an evaluation of the Addressing Substance-Related Offending program in the English and Welsh Probation Service. Participants were 319 adult male offenders who had a history of substance use and were serving community sentences. A quasi-experimental design was used to compare the reconviction rates of offenders who completed the program, offenders who started but did not complete the program, and a comparison group of offenders who were not allocated to the program. Multivariate analysis showed that at one-year follow-up the completers had a significantly lower rate of reconviction and longer time to reconviction than the non-completers, and the non-completers had a significantly higher rate of reconviction and shorter time to reconviction than the comparison group. No differences were found in reconviction between the completers and comparison group.
本文报告了对英国和威尔士缓刑服务机构的“解决涉毒犯罪问题”项目的评估。参与者是 319 名有吸毒史并正在服社区刑的成年男性罪犯。采用准实验设计比较了完成项目的罪犯、开始但未完成项目的罪犯和未被分配到项目的罪犯的再犯罪率。多变量分析显示，在一年的随访中，完成者的再犯罪率显著低于未完成者，再犯罪时间也长于未完成者，而未完成者的再犯罪率显著高于对照组，再犯罪时间也短于对照组。完成者和对照组之间的再犯罪率没有差异。
