Elizabeth Berger, Prop. 57 and Recidivism: Unveiling the Reality Behind CDCR Claims (August 2023). Research article examining the claim by the Secretary of the California Department
of Corrections and Rehabilitation that the department's recent data on recidivism
demonstrates a positive impact of increased credits against prison sentences after
Proposition 57. The article concludes that the claim is not supported by the data.
Elizabeth Berger, Unsubstantiated Claims for Effectiveness of Rehabilitation Programs (September 2025). Research article discussing claims recently made by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation regarding the effectiveness of its enhanced alternative custody programs.

Simple comparison of the recidivism rates of two groups without random assignment or other controls is not valid due to likely selection bias.
