ANNOTATION: The impact of seven evidence-based practices by individuals supervising juvenile offenders on the level of these offenders reoffending is examined. It offers valuable information for guiding the performance of individuals working with young offenders. This report includes these sections: literature review; methodology; results according to use of skills by workers and client recidivism, the use of other skills and client recidivism, and staff role and qualifications; and discussion. “It was found, as with earlier studies generally done with adults, that when workers used particular practice skills, the young people under their supervision had lower reoffending rates. It was also found that workers who provided a counseling role made more use of the effective practice skills than workers who did not” (p. 1).
