Whilst considerable attention has been placed on researching what contributes to a fall in
reoffending, this has been limited to younger, lower risk male offenders and focussed on risk and
criminogenic needs. Little research exists about the less easily measured process factors which
address the Responsivity principle and even less about what is effective with the highest risk violent
adult male offenders.
However much information has been published about the characteristics of such men and
interpersonal difficulties and complex needs would both seem to be significant responsivity issues
to engaging successfully in treatment. This thesis offers a preliminary exploration into the impact of
attention to the therapeutic alliance and the flexibility of treatment to respond to individual needs.
An associated issue is whether non completion rates are linked to each of these factors and
subsequent reoffending rates.
The statistical significance of this meta analysis suffers from a small numbers of studies with this
high risk population and a lack of reporting of quality information about these matters. To this end a
systematic review of studies is appended to assist the reader to have a fuller picture.
The aim of this study is to invite more interest to understanding the responsivity principle in action.
Consistently over the past 30 years studies report very modest treatment effect sizes for a wide
range of offenders. Presumably better treatment outcome rates are possible. If treatment effect sizes
are to increase, one course of action could be to experiment with the under explored areas of
responsivity. Another possibility is to examine the extreme outliers in treatment effects and
understand the reasons for these. Both of these approaches are incorporated in this study.
