Research Interests
Andrew Day specializes in offender rehabilitation, with a focus on cognitive-behavioral approaches to reduce recidivism. His research critically examines punitive justice systems and advocates for evidence-based rehabilitation programs that address criminogenic needs such as pro-criminal attitudes, low self-control, and lack of empathy. He emphasizes the importance of community-based rehabilitation and culturally tailored programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Publication Trends
His work highlights the limitations of punitive methods in crime prevention, arguing that delayed and unpredictable punishment fails to deter offenders. Instead, he promotes structured rehabilitation programs, including token economies and cognitive-behavioral therapy, as cost-effective solutions. His 2015 article contextualizes modern practices within historical reforms like those of Alexander Maconochie and John Howard.
