Vlog: What works in prison sentencing?

 

This vlog by Campbell CEO Howard White is about the Campbell policy brief on sentencing and its effects on re-offending.

Howard explains how the 12 Campbell systematic reviews used in the policy brief can help inform policymakers who want to reduce crime, and reform criminals. While an old study from 1974 resulted in a great number of reform programmes being cancelled, up-to-date evidence from meta-analyses shows that many criminal justice programmes actually are effective in reducing crime.
