Morality Behind Bars: An Intervention Study on Fostering Moral Competence of Prisoners as a New Approach to Social Rehabilitation

By Kay Hemmerling

In this experimentally designed intervention study the effects of prison and moral competence training were assessed using as criterion the Moral Competence Test (MCT, formerly called MJT). Whereas the moral competence of prisoners mostly regressed over time, an increase could be recorded in the prisoners who participated in a series of three KMDD-sessions.
