A new article has been added to the "What's New" page of the SOS FIRES web site. It is titled "Comparable Juvenile Firesetter Intervention Programs - A Utilization Focused Evaluation by Rodney Hitzfelder
Rodney Hitzfelder examines two noted intervention programs from San Antonio, Texas and Portland, Oregon. The two programs are examined and compared for several factors. Program histories and profiles of a typical client of each program are detailed for comparison purposes. Extensive interviews with key personnel in both programs provided relevant data for comparative purposes and for critical recommendations. The final recommendation section of this report puts forth a mechanism to begin sample testing the effectiveness of current programs with the hope that future researchers will continue to move towards such an effective system.
