520 3 _aScared Straight and ohter programs involve orgnized visits to prision facilities by juvenile delinquents or at-risk kids to deter them from delinquency. Despite several research studies and reviews questioning their effectiveness, they remain in use and have now been tried in at least six nations. The authors report here on the results of a systematic review of randomized experimental tests of this program. Studies that tested any program involving the organized visits of delinquents or at-risk children to penal institutions were included. each study had to have a no-treatment control condition with at least one outcome measure of "postvisit" criminal behavior. Using extensive search methods, the authors located nine randomized trials meeting eligibility criteria. After describing the studies and appraising their methodological quality, the authors present the narrative findigns from each evaluation. A meta-analysis os prevalance rates indicates that the intervention on average is mroe harmful to juveniles than doing nothing. The authors conclude that governmentals should institute rigorous programs of research to ensure that well-intentioned treatments do not cause harm to the citizens they pledge to protect
