For example, while scanning the room a teacher noticed a potential conflict between two children and planned accordingly by sitting with the children to help resolve the issue. Sensitive teachers are aware of each child’s academic and emotional…

correctional goals. Modern corrections punitive treatment of offenders is justified for deterring others from engaging in criminal behaviour, however, the punishment of individuals is not necessarily useful in preventing recidivism (Edney, & Bagaric, 2007). A popular mode of rehabilitation has been the risk, need, responsivity model (RNR) in its attempt to reduce offender recidivism. An alternative GLM approach asserts downfalls…

5 key Ideas I really like the idea of rehabilitation thought risk/need/responsivity. It’s one of the three criminogenic needs. To me it’s designed to fit the person and the way they learn and what their character is. Everyone is unique. This treatment would be more beneficial for those that are high risk offender. They may need more time treatment plans, counseling, and education to change up their behavior. This would help with the rehabilitation processes. Possibly reduce the chance of…

intervention on reducing recidivism in sexual, violent, and general recidivism. The risk should focus on higher risk offenders and should actuarial risk assessments. There are either little to no effects on reducing recidivism if the focus for risk assessment is used for low risk offenders, however once the focus is shifts to the ones who actually need it, such as the higher risk then the results will have a positive effect on reducing recidivism. Need principle, which is a dynamitic factor,…

With that said, it is basically finding strategies to target problem behaviors, if any, that may arise during the intervention of the offender. Using particular behavior approaches to tailor the style of treatment the offender shall receive will help the offender become more responsive to treatment because the offender will see the staff as being on their level. To conclude, without the use of professional discretion, to include, risk assessment, need, and responsivity the offender may not…
