This systematic literature review maps the evidence for the effectiveness of the therapeutic community interventions (TCI) in reducing re-arrest, re-incarceration or drug misuse following release from prison, including the extent to which these effects are retained over time. The databases searched for the review included PsychINFO, Medline and Scopus and reference lists from relevant articles published between 2007 and 2014. Only quantitative studies that examined the effectiveness of TCI for a prisoner population with drug dependence at the time of initial incarceration were considered. Fourteen studies were identified for inclusion in the review. Three-quarters of the studies reported TCI were effective in reducing rates of re-incarceration. About 70% of studies that examined follow-up rates of drug misuse relapse found TCI effective in reducing rates of drug misuse amongst participants. TCI participation reduced re-arrests events in 55% of the studies. Results suggest TCI effective in the short-term rather than longer term for reducing rates of re-incarceration among participants, and to a slightly lesser extent, drug misuse relapse.
本系统文献综述梳理了治疗社区干预（TCI）在降低囚犯出狱后再次被捕、再次入狱或药物滥用发生率方面有效性的证据，包括这些效果随时间保持的程度。此次综述检索的数据库包括心理学文摘数据库（PsychINFO）、医学文献数据库（Medline）和Scopus以及2007年至2014年发表的相关文章的参考文献列表。仅纳入了对初次入狱时患有药物依赖的囚犯群体进行TCI有效性研究的定量研究。共确定了14项研究纳入此次综述。四分之三的研究报告称TCI在降低再次入狱率方面有效。在研究药物滥用复发随访率的研究中，约70%发现TCI在降低参与者药物滥用率方面有效。在55%的研究中，参与TCI减少了再次被捕事件。结果表明，TCI在短期内对降低参与者再次入狱率有效，而在降低药物滥用复发率方面效果稍差，长期效果不明显。
