The current study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of a manualized Impact of Crime (IOC) group intervention implemented with male inmates (N = 108) at a county jail. Facilitator adherence to the intervention and participant attendance, homework completion, and feedback were assessed. On average facilitators covered 93.7% of each manual topic. Victim speaker recruitment was a challenge-43.5% of relevant sessions lacked victim speakers. Findings suggested significant participant engagement-67.3% attended at least 75% of sessions and 93.3% of homework assignments were submitted on time. Overall, participants indicated satisfaction with the intervention. Successful strategies, challenges, and potential enhancements are discussed.
本研究评估了在一所县监狱对男性囚犯(N = 108)实施的犯罪影响(IOC)小组干预手册的可行性和可接受性。评估了促进者对干预措施的坚持程度以及参与者的出勤情况、家庭作业完成情况和反馈。促进者平均涵盖了每个手册主题的93.7%。招募受害者发言人是一项挑战——43.5%的相关会议缺乏受害者发言人。研究结果表明参与者参与度很高——67.3%的人至少参加了75%的会议,93.3%的家庭作业按时提交。总体而言,参与者表示对干预措施满意。文中讨论了成功的策略、挑战和潜在的改进措施。
