Abstract: 

By the late 1970s, it appeared that the pro ponents of rehabilitation would not recover from the fatal blow they had been dealt. As it turned out, however, rehabilitation was only delivered a technical knockout. A few indefatigable, lonely voices in the United States persisted in advancing the notion that the rehabilitative agenda continued to have appreciable merit and that, at the very least, further research would uncover “which methods work best for which type of offender and under what conditions” (Palmer, 1975, p.150; see, also, Cullen & Gilbert, 1982).
