Participation in the enhanced employment intervention had an impact upon misconduct in comparison to the control condition of traditional employment services. About 57 percent of participants in the enhanced employment condition compared to approximately 67 percent in the employment development only condition were found guilty of misconduct during the time frame of the study. Enhanced employment condition participants also tended to receive fewer misconducts on the average compared to the control group. It took significantly longer for participants in the experimental condition to receive a misconduct violation, 81.8 versus 125.2 days for the control group participants. The rate of return to prison during the sixth month time period following intake was significantly less among participants of the enhanced employment intervention. The study findings indicate employment interventions designed to address the needs and responsivity of individuals prove more effective than traditional group approaches in reducing offender recidivism. 9 tables and 40 references
