The Effect of Differential Follow-Up on Rearrests: A Critique of Quay and Love.

Mrad, David F.; And Others

Criminal Justice and Behavior, v6 n1 p23-33 Mar 1979

The evaluation of a juvenile diversion program by Quay and Love (1977) is criticized for employing follow-up periods of differing durations. A second article by Quay and Love responds to Mrad's suggestion that the experimental effect was due to a greater post-program exposure time for the control group. (LPG)
