Abstract
Forensic research and practice have historically focused on risk assessment and prevention. This risk-oriented paradigm is shifting towards a more recovery-oriented perspective. The aim of this scoping review is to provide an overview of research on the factors influencing rehabilitation and recovery and discuss the recovery paradigm in a forensic setting. We performed a systematic search of the literature from the past 10 years, in Pubmed, Cinahl and PsycInfo, on recovery and rehabilitation. All types of study designs were included. Data was analysed and charted using an Excel template with various data items of interest. Clinical, personal, social, functional and forensic factors were found to be of influence on recovery and rehabilitation. A number of these overlapped with factors of influence on recidivism and desistance, others did not. Most studies on recovery and rehabilitation focused on a clinical forensic setting. This study provides an overview of the current body of knowledge on the factors influencing recovery and rehabilitation in forensic clients, and encourages researchers and practitioners in their focus on the recovery paradigm in forensic care. The body of evidence on rehabilitation and recovery is not yet as profound as that on recidivism and desistance. More knowledge on recovery trajectories for offenders in prison or ambulatory care, for example, is required.
