RNR and GLM Flashcards
Risk need Responsivity
used to assess and rehabilitate criminals around the world
RNR
risk
criminal behaviour can be predicted and that treatment should focus on high risk offenders
match the level of service to the offender’s risk to re-offend
Risk includes to themselves, others and of re-offending
there are two types of risk factors
Criminal behaviour can be predicted
high risk offender=high intensity treatment
low risk offender with high treatment =increase of offending
to be a rehab theory, it has to meet what 3 criteria
basic assumptions
aetioloigical assumptions
practice strategies
criteria
basic assumptions
explicitly clean general assumptions
criteria
aetiological assumptions
causal assumptions
how and why offending
criteria
practice strategies
how interventions should play out
risk factors
static
dynamic
static risk factor
features of an offender’s background that predicts re-offending
e.g. gender or age of first offence
dynamic risk factor
changeable factors
e.g. substance abuse
4 objectives of risk
level of service to match level of risk
high risk offenders prioritised
high risk offenders require more intense services
low risk require little interventions
maslows hierarchy
5 needs
psychological needs safety needs belonging needs esteem needs self-actualisation The needs need to be met.
Criminogenic needs
These are dynamic risk factors that are directly linked to an individuals likelihood of re offending. Criminogenic needs come and go, addressing these needs are associated with an average 19% different in recidivism.
3 non criminogenic needs
self esteem
anxiety
medical needs
what is need
basic needs that are targeted for intervention, 4-6 needs targeted is more successful
highlights the importance of criminogenic needs in the treatment of offenders
what is responsivity
how the treatment should be provided- tailored to the individual’s learning style, motivation, abilities and strengths
what are the two parts of the responsivity principle
general
specific
what is general responsivity
the use of cognitive social learning methods to influence behaviour. These are the most effective regardless of the type of offender.
Treatment should be based on theoretical models that elicit change in individuals e.g. CBT
what is specific responsivity
Style of treatment should match the individual’s characteristics.
e.g. personality, motivation and gender
