This volume contends that Evidential Pluralism—an account of the epistemology of causation, which maintains that in order to establish a causal claim one needs to establish the existence of a correlation and the existence of a mechanism—can be fruitfully applied to the social sciences. Through case studies in sociology, economics, political science and law, it advances new philosophical foundations for causal enquiry in the social sciences. The book provides an account of how to establish and evaluate causal claims and it offers a new way of thinking about evidence-based policy, basic social science research and mixed methods research. As such, it will appeal to scholars with interests in social science research and methodology, the philosophy of science and evidence-based policy.

Summary: In the current competitive scenario, the banking industry must contend with multiple challenges tied to regulations, legacy systems, disruptive models/technologies, new competitors, and a restive customer base, while simultaneously pursuing new strategies for sustainable growth. Banking institutions that can address these emerging challenges and opportunities to effectively balance long-term goals with short-term performance pressures could be aptly rewarded. This book comprises a selection of papers addressing some of these relevant issues concerning the current challenges and opportunities for international banking institutions. Papers in this collection focus on the digital transformation of the banking industry and its effect on sustainability, the emergence of new competitors such as FinTech companies, the role of mobile banking in the industry, the connections between sustainability and financial performance, and other general sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) topics related to the banking industry. The book is a Special Issue of the MDPI journal Sustainability, which has been sponsored by the Santander Financial Institute (SANFI), a Spanish research and training institution created as a collaboration between Santander Bank and the University of Cantabria. SANFI works to identify, develop, support, and promote knowledge, study, talent, and innovation in the financial sector.

EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. This important book offers practical advice for using evidence and research in policymaking. The book has two aims. First, it builds a case for ethics and global values in research and knowledge exchange, and second, it examines specific policy areas and how evidence can guide practice. The book covers important policy areas including the GM debate, the environment, Black Lives Matter and COVID-19. Each chapter assesses the ethical challenges, the status of evidence in explaining or describing the issue and possible solutions to the problem. The book will enable policymakers and their advisors to seek evidence for their decisions from research that has been conducted ethically and with integrity.

8. Drawing Conclusions.

- Abstract
IMPACT ON RECIDIVISM In this book I examined correctional interventions, management strategies, and treatment and rehabilitation programs to identify which were effective in reducing the recidivism of offenders and delinquents. Hereafter, in this chapter, I refer to all of these as programs or interventions. Two hundred eighty-four evaluations of the programs were located and scored for the quality of the research methods. The significance and effectiveness were examined for each study. Table 15.1 shows the correctional programs examined, the chapter for each, the number of evaluations located, the number of the evaluations scored five (successful random assignment), the number scored two (too poorly done to include in decision making), and the conclusion drawn about the effectiveness of the program. What Works As shown in Table 15.1, at this point in time, the research evidence demonstrates the following programs were effective in reducing recidivism: academic education, vocation education, MRT, R&R, cognitive restructuring, cognitive behavior treatment for sex offenders, behavioral treatment for sex offenders, hormonal/surgical treatment of sex offenders, MST for juveniles, drug courts, drug treatment in the community, and incarceration-based drug treatment. All of the effective programs have what I refer to as human service components except the hormonal/surgical treatment for sex offenders. The effective programs are not based on a control or deterrent philosophy. Furthermore, the results are consistent with the results of the theoretical meta-analyses (see Chapter 4). As found in theoretical meta-analyses such as those conducted by Andrews et al. (1990) and Lipsey (1992; 1995), many of the programs target dynamic criminogenic factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
