Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness
of the coaching program in the Class IIA Women's Correctional Institution in
Medan in preventing recidivism. The research methods used were surveys,
interviews, and logistical regression analysis of 30 inmates, 20 former
inmates, and 10 correctional officers. The results showed that coaching
programs, which included skills training, psychological support, and religious
activities, were effective in helping inmates change their behavior and prepare
for social reintegration. Family support was also found to have a significant
influence in reducing the likelihood of recidivism. The data shows a decrease
in recidivism rates from 20% in the 2015-2017 period to 14.3% in the 2018-2020
period and 11.4% in the 2021-2023 period. Logistic regression analysis
identified that participation in coaching and family support programs was a
significant factor in lowering the rate of recidivism. These findings support
rehabilitation theory, social support theory, social learning theory, and
strain theory, which emphasize the importance of comprehensive intervention and
social support in preventing recurrent criminal behavior.
