New Perspectives (NP) aims to prevent persistent criminal behavior. We examined the long-term effectiveness of NP and whether the effects were moderated by demographic and delinquency factors. At-risk youth aged 12 to 19 years were randomly assigned to the intervention group (NP, n = 47) or care as usual (CAU, n = 54). Official and self-report data were collected to assess recidivism. NP was not more effective in reducing delinquency levels and recidivism than CAU. Also, no moderator effects were found. The overall null effects are discussed, including further research and policy implications.
新视角(NP)旨在预防持续性犯罪行为。我们研究了新视角的长期有效性以及这些效果是否受到人口统计学和犯罪因素的调节。12至19岁的高危青少年被随机分配到干预组(新视角,n = 47)或常规照护组(CAU,n = 54)。收集官方和自我报告数据以评估再犯情况。与常规照护组相比,新视角在降低犯罪水平和再犯方面并不更有效。此外,未发现调节效应。讨论了总体的无效结果,包括进一步的研究和政策影响。
