Motivational interviewing (MI) is increasingly recognized as an effective approach in forensic settings, particularly for overcoming resistance by avoiding confrontation and fostering intrinsic motivation. Research shows that interventions incorporating MI are more effective than other approaches in preventing and reducing offending behavior, highlighting its importance in improving intervention outcomes. Given this evidence, advocating for the integration of MI is crucial to enhance the effectiveness of interventions. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to systematize knowledge and assess the effectiveness of interventions incorporating MI for justice-involved people who have been sentenced to custodial or non-custodial measures. Twenty-two studies were included. The total sample size of the studies ranged from 25 to 528 individuals convicted of various offences, including intimate partner violence, violent crimes, sexual offences, property crimes, driving offences, and drug offences. Results indicated that MI is more effective in increasing session attendance and reducing dropout than interventions without MI. For official recidivism, evidence favored MI with a statistically significant reduction in recidivism rates. These findings highlight the importance of integrating MI into forensic settings, establishing its positive impact on numerous outcomes.
动机性访谈（MI）在法医环境中越来越被认为是一种有效的方法，特别是对于通过避免对抗和培养内在动机来克服抵触情绪而言。研究表明，纳入动机性访谈的干预措施在预防和减少犯罪行为方面比其他方法更有效，凸显了其在改善干预效果方面的重要性。鉴于这一证据，倡导将动机性访谈纳入其中对于提高干预效果至关重要。 这项系统评价和荟萃分析旨在系统化知识，并评估针对已被判处监禁或非监禁措施的涉案人员纳入动机性访谈的干预措施的有效性。纳入了22项研究。这些研究的总样本量从25至528名被判定犯有各种罪行的个体不等，包括亲密伴侣暴力、暴力犯罪、性犯罪、财产犯罪、驾驶犯罪和毒品犯罪。 结果表明，与未纳入动机性访谈的干预措施相比，动机性访谈在提高参与度和减少退出率方面更有效。对于官方认定累犯，有证据支持动机性访谈，累犯率有统计学上的显著降低。 这些发现凸显了将动机性访谈纳入法医环境的重要性，确立了其对众多结果的积极影响。
