THIS PROGRAM EVALUATION HAD FOUR OBJECTIVES: (1) AN OUTCOME STUDY TO ASSESS THE IMPACT OF OFFENDER CONSULTATION WITH PROBATION OR PAROLE OFFICERS UPON FREQUENCY OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY (I.E., RECIDIVISM); (2) TO ASSESS THE VALUE OF USING AN ARREST RATE INDEX AS AN OUTCOME MEASURE; (3) TO EVALUATE THE IMPORTANCE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL VARIABLES IN UNDERSTANDING CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR; AND (4) TO DEVELOP A CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM. TWO EVALUATION DESIGNS WERE USED IN THIS STUDY: A NONEQUIVALENT STATIC-GROUP COMPARISON DESIGN AND A ONE-GROUP PRETEST-POSTTEST DESIGN. IT WAS FOUND THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PROPORTION OF CLIENTS SHOWED AN INCREASE IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY FOLLOWING THEIR EXPOSURE TO CIU SERVICES. IT IS REASONED THAT INTENSE PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERVIEWS MAY INCREASE STRESS OR ANXIETY AND SUBSEQUENTLY LEAD TO ACTING OUT, CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR. THE ARREST RATE INDEX WAS SEEN AS AN INSUFFICIENT MEASURE OF SUBSEQUENT CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR, AND IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT MEASURES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS BE ADDED AS PREDICTORS. THE CONCEPTUAL SYSTEMS TEST AND A BRIEF PSYCHIATRIC RATING SCALE BOTH MEASURE DIFFERENT PSYCHOLOGICAL DIMENSIONS AND ARE BOTH RECOMMENDED FOR USE. THE USE OF ARREST PATTERNS AS MEASURES PROVIDES POSSIBILITIES FOR CLINICAL UTILIZATION. ONE SUCH POSSIBILITY IS THE USE OF ARREST PATTERNS FOR TIMELY INTERVENTION. FIGURES, TABLES, AND REFERENCES, BUT NOT DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENTS OR SAMPLE SIZE, ARE INCLUDED. (MLC)
