One Offender…One Change Plan

SESSION INFO

Tuesday, August 24, 2021
11:00AM - 12:00PM
Session Type: Workshop

Since 2005 with NIC’s publication of evidence-based practices in supervision, the goal has been for officers to administer a Risk and Needs Assessment (RNA), and develop an individualized case plan that encourages the offender to focus on their dynamic criminogenic needs. Often this includes addressing substance using disorders with a referral to treatment, where a second assessment is given and a treatment plan developed to focus on changing substance using behavior. One person…two plans… same goals…different language.
