PROGRESS REPORT ON A PROGRAM DESIGNED TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF REPEAT TARGET OFFENSES AMONG THE CLIENTS IT SERVED.

Abstract

THE TARGET OFFENSES FOR THIS PROGRAM INCLUDED BURGLARY, ROBBERY, ASSAULT (INCLUDING MENACING WITH A WEAPON), HOMICIDE AND RAPE. JUVENILE STATUS OFFENSES WERE ALSO COUNTED. SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS IN THE NUMBER OF SUBSTANTIATED TARGET OFFENSES WERE OBTAINED WITH TWO GROUPS OF PROJECT CLIENTS--ONE GROUP WITH SIX MONTHS SERVICE AND ONE WITH THREE MONTHS SERVICE. THE NUMBER OF SUBSTANTIATED TARGET OFFENSES IN THE SIX-MONTH SERVICE GROUP WAS REDUCED FROM A TOTAL OF 36 DURING THE SIX MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING EACH CLIENT'S ENTRY INTO THE PROJECT TO 8 DURING THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF SERVICE BY THE PROJECT--A 77.7 PERCENT REDUCTION. THE REDUCTION WAS STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT. THE PROJECT INITIATED CORRECTIONAL SERVICES TO 91 CLIENTS--72.8 PERCENT OF THE QUARTERLY 125-CLIENT OBJECTIVE. THE OBJECTIVE TO MAINTAIN SERVICE CASELOADS AT NOT MORE THAN TWENTY CLIENTS PER CASE MANAGER WAS EXCEEDED BY THIRTY-SEVEN PERCENT OF THE CASELOADS. THE OBJECTIVE TO EFFECT CASE STAFFINGS WITHIN THREE CALENDAR WEEKS WAS MET FOR THREE PERCENT OF THE STAFFING POPULATION FOR THE REPORTING QUARTER. TABULAR DATA IS SUPPLIED.
