A Meta-Analysis of Programs That Provide Education to Incarcerated Adults
After conducting a comprehensive literature search, the authors undertook a meta-analysis to examine the association between correctional education and reductions in recidivism, improvements in employment after release from prison, and other outcomes. The study finds that receiving correctional education while incarcerated reduces inmates' risk of recidivating and may improve their odds of obtaining employment after release from prison.
We care about the answer both because we want ex-prisoners to successfully
reenter communities and because we have a responsibility to use taxpayer
dollars judiciously to support programs that are backed by evidence of their
effectiveness—especially during difficult budgetary times like these. Across this
Administration, we are committed to investing in evidence-based programming,
investigating promising practices, and making science a priority. Fortunately, the
passage of the ...
Reports results of interviews of youths treated in 11 adolescent programs that had been identified as having suggestive evidence of effectiveness, to learn whether they had better outcomes than they would have had at other facilities.
A small number of cases were admitted to their respective treatment programs
less than 12 months prior to March 2002. Because these cases had no 12-month
assessments in the dataset, they were excluded by design. Since we assume in
this report that treatment effects are constant over the period of study, we can also
assume that the exclusion of these cases introduces no bias into our treatment
effect estimates. More problematic are those cases excluded because they were
lost ...
Examines violent terrorist groups that, while not formally allied with al-Qaeda, could pose a threat to Americans now or in the future and to the security of our friends and allies. The authors show how terrorists use criminal organizations and connections to finance their activities, and they identify distinct strategies to neutralize or mitigate these threats.

a result, Hamas received an influx of monetary support from charities and
individuals in the Gulf States in the early 1990s.51 Though not rising to the level

The Evolution of Air Force-Navy Integration in Strike Warfare
This report documents the exceptional cross-service harmony that the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy have steadily developed in their conduct of integrated strike operations since the first Persian Gulf War in 1991. That close harmony contrasts sharply with the situation that prevailed throughout most of the Cold War, when the two services maintained separate and unique operating mindsets and lacked any significant interoperability features.
... artifact of the Air Force, was especially apparent throughout the contingency-
response operations that were conducted by the Navy's carrier air wings, in
conjunction with Air Force and allied air assets, over the Balkans throughout the
1990s.

RAND developed a methodology to help understand and explain the differences between U.S. Air National Guard and active component aircraft maintenance productivity. This research focuses on maintenance options for supporting associate units, where the goal of the associate unit is to produce trained pilots in the most efficient manner possible.
Most ANG units, on the other hand, operate only a single shift to support
peacetime training sorties. Additionally, the ANG tends to repair “to the flying
schedule”—they do not focus on fixing everything as quickly as possible; rather
