Implementing the Next Generation of Parole Supervision: Findings from the Changing Attitudes and Motivation in Parolees Pilot Study

This study from the MDRC focuses on a parole intervention curriculum for parole officers called Next Generation (NG) to decrease recidivism rates. The study focuses on understanding how NG was implemented as it was piloted in the three sites and assesses NG-trained parole officers’ fidelity to the NG model. To visualize a contrast between the NG implementation and typical practices that NG intends to replace, the study also included a second group of parole officers who were not trained in NG. The groups were not randomly assigned.
