| A substantial project
on the dynamic antecedents of criminal recidivism
has been recently completed. This is in part
an extension of our previous work on how
criminal offenders cope, i. e, how they interact
with their environment, but more generally
it is an attempt to elucidate what happens
in (re) offending. The results will be reported
in a monograph entitled The criminal recidivism
process (publisher not yet determined). At
present, we are moving on to the problem
of predicting recidivism; by using psychologically
relevant dynamic measures, we expect to be
able to improve on the accuracy of previous
methods. |
