  2. A corrections manager wants to reduce recidivism through cognitive-behavioral programming. Which intervention has the strongest empirical support?

    Answer: Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT)

    Moral Reconation Therapy and similar cognitive-behavioral interventions have strong meta-analytic evidence supporting their effectiveness in reducing recidivism.

  3. What is 'swift certainty' as applied to community supervision under the HOPE (Hawaii's Opportunity Probation with Enforcement) model?

    Answer: Delivering immediate, predictable, and consistent consequences for every violation

    The HOPE model demonstrated that swift and certain (though modest) sanctions deter violations more effectively than severe but delayed or inconsistent responses.

  6. A corrections manager is reviewing electronic monitoring options. Which technology uses GPS tracking to create inclusion and exclusion zones for offenders?

    Answer: Global Positioning System (GPS) monitoring

    GPS monitoring allows agencies to establish geographic inclusion zones (where the offender must be) and exclusion zones (where they are prohibited), with real-time location tracking.

  7. According to research on reentry, which factor is most strongly associated with successful community reintegration among released prisoners?

    Answer: Prosocial family and social support networks
