This article examined the long-term effects of multisystemic therapy (MST) vs. individual therapy (IT) on the prevention of criminal behavior and violent offending among 176 juvenile offenders at high risk for committing additional serious crimes. Results from multiagent, multimethod assessment batteries conducted before and after treatment showed that MST was more effective than IT in improving key family correlates of antisocial behavior and in ameliorating adjustment problems in individual family members. Moreover, results from a 4-year follow-up of rearrest data showed that MST was more effective than IT in preventing future criminal behavior, including violent offending. The implications of such findings for the design of violence prevention programs are discussed.
本文研究了多系统治疗（MST）与个体治疗（IT）对176名有再次实施严重犯罪高风险的少年犯预防犯罪行为和暴力犯罪的长期影响。治疗前后进行的多主体、多方法评估组的结果表明，在改善反社会行为的关键家庭相关因素以及缓解个体家庭成员的适应问题方面，MST比IT更有效。此外，对再次逮捕数据的4年随访结果表明，在预防未来犯罪行为（包括暴力犯罪）方面，MST比IT更有效。文中讨论了这些研究结果对暴力预防项目设计的启示。
