Studies indicated that detainees are not always allocated to treatment programs based on official guidelines. Street-level bureaucracy theory suggests that this is because government employees do not always perform policies as prescribed. This study aimed to assess whether this also applies to the allocation of offenders to treatment in Dutch penitentiary institutions, and aimed to determine which factors influenced this. The proposed questions were addressed by studying a group of 541 male prisoners who participated in the Dutch prison-based Prevention of Recidivism program. Results showed that official guidelines were, in most cases, not leading when referring detainees to programs. Instead, treatment referrals were influenced by a broad range of risk factors, as well as the length of an offender's sentence.
研究表明，被拘留者并不总是根据官方指导方针被分配到治疗项目中。街头官僚理论认为，这是因为政府雇员并不总是按规定执行政策。本研究旨在评估这是否也适用于荷兰监狱机构中罪犯的治疗分配，并确定哪些因素对此产生了影响。通过研究一组参与荷兰监狱预防累犯项目的541名男性囚犯，解决了所提出的问题。结果表明，在将被拘留者转介到项目时，官方指导方针在大多数情况下并不起主导作用。相反，治疗转介受到广泛的风险因素以及罪犯刑期长短的影响。
