Title: Effectiveness of Client Specific Planning as an Alternative Sentence, 1981-82: Washington, D.C. and Fairfax, Montgomery, and Prince Georges Counties
Document: PDF
Dataset: DATASET 1
Author(s): W H Clements
Date Published: 1988
Annotation: This analysis explains the variables, coding system, and research methods used in gathering a set of data focusing on the evaluation of the Client Specific Planning (CSP) program, a program offering non-incarcerative sentencing options and alternatives prepared for judges and presented by a caseworker of the National Center on Institutions and Alternatives.
Abstract: The study measured the impact of the program on sentence length, sentence severity, the effectiveness of the program at diverting serious felony offenders from incarceration, and the rate, type, seriousness, and timing of recidivism in a 24-month post-sentence risk period. Variables are provided for each defendant on demographic characteristics, criminal history, prior counseling experiences, prior incarceration, charges and dispositions of the recidivist arrests, and types of sentencing alternatives recommended in CSP. The court jurisdictions were Washington, D.C., Fairfax County (Va.), and Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties (Md.).
