It varies with the program and the intensity of the program. One of the things we can share with the committee is an overview of the various programs and the research about the impact of lowering recidivism. In certain types of programs, we've seen a range anywhere from 17% to 24%, to as high as a 50% reduction. Unfortunately, there's not just one silver bullet or one program that will automatically give you that. It usually comes as a result of a combination of many different things.
One of the problems we've had to avoid is overprogramming offenders--for two reasons. One, we just don't have enough time to do everything we would do on the list. We would be keeping them beyond warrant expiry if we were to take that approach. Two, certain programs may actually be running at cross-purposes, so we have to be very careful as to what the programs are intended to do.
We can provide this committee with the research that talks very specifically about programs such as cognitive skills programming--reasoning and rehabilitation--substance abuse programming, and violence prevention programming.
