This report on an evaluation of 85 restitution projects throughout the country compares their effectiveness according to the variables of relationship to the court, how the restitution order is determined, whether monetary restitution and community service are combined, whether the government provides a wage subsidy, type of supervision offered during the restitution program, and consequences if restitution not completed. |

|
| Abstract: |
Under each of the aforementioned variables, the evaluation analyzed the percentage of referrals completed, in-program reoffense rate for the first 12 months, and the portion of the restitution payment made. The study found that regardless of the structure or operations of a restitution program as determined by the identified variables, the programs yielded a high completion rate, a low in-program reoffense rate, and a high rate of portions of restitution paid; however, program outcomes are somewhat better when only one aspect of restitution is used (either monetary payment or community service) and a government wage subsidy is provided. |
