Abstract
This is the introductory chapter of What Works in Offender Rehabilitation: An Evidence-Based Approach to Assessment and Treatment. Addressing the methodological concerns raised by Lipton, Martinson and Wilks and Brody, research into offender rehabilitation has culminated in a 'what works' research literature-The Psychology of Criminal Conduct, What Works: Reducing Reoffending, Offender Rehabilitation and Treatment: Effective Programmes and Policies to Reduce Reoffending, Offender Rehabilitation in Practice: Implementing and Evaluating Effective Programmes and Offending Behaviour Programmes: Development, Application and Controversies-the emphasis of which was evidence-based practice and empirical rigour.
