In 2002 Functional Family Parole (FFP), a family-based approach to parole based on Functional Family Therapy (FFT), was implemented across the state of Washington due to questions regarding the effectiveness of traditional parole services in reducing recidivism among juvenile parolees. The present study is the first effectiveness study of the Functional Family Parole intervention, examining the post-parole criminal behavior and family functioning outcomes of youth who received the intervention (n=621) as compared to a matched control group of youth who received traditional parole services (n=621). A simple comparison of recidivism between the two groups found no differences between FFP and traditional paroles services. This finding is not surprising as previous research has identified model adherence as a moderator of treatment outcome. As a result, the present study set out to examine the role of FFP parole counselor adherence in predicting behavioral outcomes. Results from a linear regression demonstrate that the combination of parole counselor adherence and a measure of the youth's risk for re-offense explains a significant portion of the variance in post-parole criminal severity among the treatment group. Although non-significant, results of a logistical regression analysis demonstrate a 14.6% reduction in 12-month felony recidivism rates between those youth who received the FFP intervention from a highly adherent parole counselor and those youth receiving traditional parole services. Moreover, youth receiving FFP were shown to have significantly fewer parole revocations as compared to traditional parole services, suggesting the potential for considerable cost-savings. Results of self-report measures completed by families receiving FFP indicate that parents and youth experience improvements in their overall family functioning, youth behavior, parental supervision, family communication, as well as reductions in family conflict. Overall, the evidence suggests promising effects of family-based approaches to juvenile aftercare services when implemented with high fidelity. Implications for public policy are discussed.
