REVIEW OF LITERATURE The literature review will address three areas of research related to low recidivism of ‎forensic patients in the Eau Claire County Jail, located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin offender rehabilitation ‎programs. The first section will address research related to rehabilitation work, the forensic field of ‎evaluation, and social services to criminal defendants. The second section will focus on research studies ‎about offender programs risk analyses, risk management and containment, prediction of recidivism, and ‎correlations of mental health ‎disorders and criminal offending. Finally, the third section will discuss ‎research related to the efficacy of ‎multimodal ‎psychological treatments, and supportive programming, ‎forensic variables in analysis, and evidence of significantly reduced ‎recidivism. ‎ Rehabilitation workers are the only field that currently helps evaluate and provide ‎social services to criminal defendants. The rehabilitation field is behind in general ‎caseloads and ‎cases rarely get the support and attention in full that is needed. The ‎competency service crisis in the modern forensic and legal field indicates ‎competency-‎related services are needed at monumental levels in the United States, ‎yet there are long wait lists for ‎competency evaluations and admission to ‎competency restoration services by psychologists, and mental health specialists. ‎Some ‎solutions do not adhere to ‎existing empirical research‎. There are several ‎areas of intervention related to competency and at this time. However, currently ‎the state of forensic ethics and indirect practice for the rehabilitation ‎counselor are ‎not specific to evaluees’ rights.‎ The literature review will address these three areas of research. First, the forensic field ‎of psychology and social work methods. Second, offender programs and risks of ‎recidivism. Third, the efficacy of ‎‎psychological treatments, analysis, and evidence.‎ The literature review will also address three areas of research related to low ‎recidivism of ‎forensic patients in ‎‎Wisconsin offender rehabilitation ‎programs.
