Identify one correctional program/policy that research has found to have positive impacts in reducing recidivism and a separate one that has been found to be ineffective in reducing recidivism.
Drawing from assigned readings and the additional research evidence articles and sources you identified you are to write a 3-4 page essay that describes, compares and contrasts the two correctional programs/policies you chose. Your compare/contrast discussion should center on the reasons why one program was effective, while the other was ineffective, in reducing recidivism.
