The reviews described here show that the objective and quantitative findings of the existing literature on correctional effectiveness do not support a “nothing works” perspective. The “nothing works” perspective makes sense only if one limits one’s view of the effects of treatment to that literature which deals with the effects of the type and/or severity of official processing and sanctioning on recidivism. In dramatic contrast, the research literature on the effects of treatment, offered under a variety of conditions of official processing, has revealed positive effects on average—and notably positive effects when the principles of risk, need, and responsivity have been applied.
