Community Corrections: Responsivity and the Role of Systemic Issues
SESSION INFO
Wednesday, January 25, 2023
9:15 AM - 10:15 AM
Session Type: Workshop
This workshop will deliver an overview of the criminal justice system and present the role of community corrections in the continuum. Participants will take a brief retrospective look at some of the field’s past practices and review evolving current practices, including the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) framework that guides how the field uses the principles of effective interventions to change offender behavior. Through this lens, the responsivity principle will be explored regarding systemic issues, their implications, and how it all influences individual and community behavior. The need to understand and consider systemic issues while developing informed policies and procedures that not only impact recidivism but that also disrupt disproportionality and create culturally competent practices, will be discussed. Racial and ethnic identities, ages, religious and spiritual cultures, nationalities, social and economic statuses, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and physical and mental abilities will be covered, with an emphasis on race and poverty.
