متن کاملThe effects of custodial vs non-custodial sanctions on reoffending: lessons from a systematic review.
Based on a systematic review of some 23 (out of 300 originally located) studies, it is concluded that most studies show lower rates of re-offending following a non-custodial compared to a custodial sanction.
