Family/parent training programs can provide parents with tools to raise their children. This can
help them deal with children’s behavior problems. The programs prevent later antisocial behavior
and delinquency in children and they have a positive influence in later life in areas such as
partnerships, education and work. This has been documented by a Campbell Review of the most
solid international research results.

Juvenile system processing appears to not have a crime control effect, and across all measures appears to increase delinquency.
The studies included 7,304 juveniles across 29 experiments reported over a 35-year
period. Juvenile system processing, at least given the experimental evidence
presented in this report, does not appear to have a crime control effect. In fact,
almost all of the results are negative in direction, as measured by prevalence,
incidence, severity, and self-report outcomes. The results are not uniform across
every study; one important moderating variable is the type of control group. Studies
that compared system processing to a diversion program reported much larger
negative effect sizes than those that compared it to “doing nothing.

Programs like 'Scared Straight' involve organized visits to prison facilities by juvenile
delinquents or children at risk for becoming delinquent. The programs are designed
to deter participants from future offending by providing first-hand observations of
prison life and interaction with adult inmates. Results of this review indicate that
not only does it fail to deter crime but it actually leads to more offending behavior.
Government officials permitting this program need to adopt rigorous evaluation to
ensure that they are not causing more harm to the very citizens they pledge to
protect.
