Résumé
Contrairement à la perspective « Nothing works » de Martinson (1974), l’approche « What works ? » du traitement correctionnel s’est centrée sur la possibilité que le traitement correctionnel soit efficace dans la réduction de la récidive criminelle des délinquants. Les preuves empiriques examinées dans le présent article corroborent le fait que l’application des principes risque-besoins-réceptivité d’Andrews et Bonta (2006) donnent les bases d’un modèle efficace de réhabilitation. Pourtant, malgré les grands progrès réalisés dans le développement et la mise en oeuvre d’un traitement correctionnel fondé sur des données probantes, il subsiste des sphères qui nécessitent un approfondissement. Dans cet article, trois questions souvent négligées relativement à la réhabilitation du délinquant sont aussi examinées, à savoir la nécessité de prendre en considération les enjeux motivationnels chez les délinquants, l’importance des compétences et attitudes du personnel, et la nécessité de documenter et d’évaluer continuellement les pratiques de réhabilitation.

Abstract
In contrast to the Martinson’s (1974) ‘Nothing works’ view, the ‘What works ?’ approach to correctional treatment has focused on whether correctional treatment can be effective in reducing offenders’ criminal recidivism. The empirical evidence reviewed in this paper supports that the Andrews and Bonta’s (2006) risk-need-responsivity principles provide the bases of an effective model of rehabilitation. Yet, despite great strides toward the development and implementation of evidence-based correctional treatment, there continues to be areas that require further development. In this paper, three issues frequently neglected in offender rehabilitation are additionally discussed, namely the need to attend to motivational issues among offenders, the importance of staff skills and attitude, and the need to continually document and evaluate rehabilitative practices.
Keywords:
- Correctional treatment,
- readiness for treatment,
- characteristics of therapeutic staff,
- evidence based
Resumen
Contrariamente a la perspectiva “Nothing works” de Martinson (1974), la orientación “What works ?” del tratamiento correccional se ha centrado en la posibilidad de que el tratamiento profesional pueda ser eficaz en la reducción de la reincidencia de los delincuentes. Las pruebas empíricas examinadas en el presente artículo corroboran el hecho de que la aplicación de los principios riesgo-necesidades-receptividad de Andrews y Bonta (2006) proporcionan las bases de un modelo eficaz de rehabilitación. Sin embargo, pese a los grandes progresos realizados en el desarrollo y la puesta en práctica de un tratamiento correccional basado en la evidencia, subsisten áreas que necesitan ser profundizadas. Examinamos también en este artículo tres cuestiones a menudo descuidadas respecto a la rehabilitación del delincuente, a saber, la necesidad de tomar en cuenta las motivaciones de los delincuentes, la importancia de las competencias y actitudes del personal y la necesidad de documentar y evaluar continuamente las prácticas de rehabilitación.
Palabras clave:
