"Investigations of two samples of offenders who were participants in the Cognitive Skills Training Program revealed that, in comparison to non-participants, participants were less likely to recidivate following release. The evidence suggests that program completers have lower rates of readmissions for new convictions and that the program effects on recidivism appear to be most beneficial for high risk offenders. Additional data indicate that referral and screening procedures operating for Cognitive Skills Training favour the selection of offenders who are at high risk of recidivism. Psychometric data also indicate that Cognitive Skills participants improve on a number of attitudinal and cognitive skill dimensions during their exposure to the program. The latter findings suggest that the program is effective in producing positive changes on the intermediate targets which are associated with recidivism"--Summary.
