Literature Review

I found a couple articles that might be helpful for us.


Hepburn, J. (2005). Recidivism Among Drug Offenders Following Exposure to Treatment.Criminal Justice            Policy Review, 15(2 237-259). Retrieved November 1, 2014.

Hepburn, J., & Albonetti, C. (1994). Recidivism among drug offenders: A survival analysis of the effects of           offender characteristics, type of offense, and two types of intervention.Journal of Quantitative                     Criminology, 10(2), 159-179.

The first article discusses the incarceration versus treatment and the effectiveness each has for helping an individual stay out of therapy.  The second article discusses what types of interventions and what characteristics are likely to keep an offender out of prison a second time.
