Treatment

Offender rehabilitation and treatment must be evidence-based, effective, and cost-effective.  It must engage clients and motivate them.  At present, the most effective treatment approach utilizes skills-based, cognitive-behavioral methods (CBT) within the framework of the Risk/Need/Responsivity (RNR) Model.  Research demonstrates that adherence to these approaches can result in reduced risk, lower recidivism rates, and increased community safety.
