This journal publishes research on offender behavior, rehabilitation, and recidivism. It examines psychological interventions, risk assessment tools, and the impact of social and environmental factors on offending and desistance. The scope includes studies on specific populations such as incarcerated men and women, adolescents, and individuals with histories of sexual offending or intimate partner violence. It also explores the role of therapeutic relationships, community supervision, and post-incarceration reintegration in reducing reoffending.
