TESP- an Alternative Sentencing Program
Ongoing Research on Participants of the TESP program All participants of The Enlightened Sentencing Project are tested pre and post-program. The tests used are standard psychological tests. The research was initiated by Mark Hawkins, Ph.D., on the first 45 probationers graduating from the TESP program (see below) and continued by John Sterling, Ph.D. on an additional 59 participants. Dr Sterling is a Founding Director of The Enlightened Sentencing Project, a TESP Teaching Assistant and Yoga Instructor for TESP clients. Dr Sterling has prepared a Power Point Slide Presentation on the 59 participants he studied in The Enlightened Sentencing Project. Results indicate a significant decrease in Impulsivity, Aggressiveness and Feelings of Control. TESP will soon be conducting a study on 500 TESP participants and a control group of the same number. Here is the Power Point Slide Presentation by Dr Sterling, presented at the TESP Eighth Graduation on August 29, 2005.
