Title Rating Details Outcome Category Study(ies)
Re-Arrest (Any Offense) None

Wilson and colleagues (2005) found that participants in the Project Greenlight (GL) program had a higher number of new arrests for any offense, compared with the comparison group. At the 12-month follow up, 44 percent of GL participants experienced one or more new arrests, compared with 32 percent of the Upstate comparison group who did not receive any services. This difference was statistically significant.
