Interventions
|
The intervention that we are piloting is referred to as EQUIP, and is delivered in a group format. This is not an acronym, and refers to the idea that the treatment is meant to equip offenders with the skills and abilities they need in order to avoid re-offending. The treatment draws on theoretical models from developmental psychology, namely, moral reasoning theory.
Group therapy duration: hourly sessions spread over four days in the week, for 14 weeks.
Follow-up length: 2 months
Study entry: registration only
