Research to help reduce criminal re-offense rates
Increasing public safety and controlling costs are among the benefits of three related research projects led by Zachary Hamilton, assistant professor of criminal justice at WSU Spokane.
With funding from the state Department of Corrections and the state Institute for Public Policy, Hamilton is helping officials predict criminal re-offense and determine the effectiveness of treatment programs. The projects are intended to enhance the state’s system for classifying and treating felony offenders and others who potentially pose a threat to society.
