Offender Assessment Utilizing the Risk-Need. Responsivity Model A web presentation for RSAT - T&TA by Roberta C. Churchill -ACJS
ABOUT THE PRESENTATION � This presentation builds upon the last two sessions on Assessments and Screening. � It will review three of the Principles of Effective Intervention – Risk, Need and Responsivity – and their importance in offender assessment, treatment / case planning and provision of treatment. � There will also be a brief look at the history of offender assessment as well as an overview of 4 th Generation RNR Assessment Instruments.
Screening ◦ Short; used with every offender in an intake-type setting ◦ Identifies offenders who might have the characteristic in question (e. g. , mental health problem, substance abuse problem) ◦ Helps “triage” offenders for immediate attention ◦ Help decide need for a more comprehensive assessment ◦ Usually requires little to no training to administer
Assessment ◦ Longer and more comprehensive; results give a multi-dimensional perspective of the offender ◦ Helps to develop specific recommendations for treatment and case planning ◦ Identifies needs that may require specialized services and/or community based referrals for reentry planning ◦ Usually requires training to administer and interpret the results
RISK NEED RESPONSIVITY
RISK � How likely a person is to engage in criminal behaviors
NEED � What areas in a person’s life should be targeted for intervention / supervision in order to decrease their likelihood of future criminal behavior
RESPONSIVITY � What personal strengths and/or specific individual factors might influence the effectiveness of treatment services
Risk Principle • Match level of services to level of risk
Risk Principle • Match level of services to level of risk • Prioritize supervision and treatment resources for higher risk clients

Risk Principle tells us WHO to target … … so now what do we DO? DO
Need Principle • Assess criminogenic needs and target those needs with treatment and interventions
Criminogenic ? ?
Criminogenic Needs • Dynamic or “changeable” risk factors that contribute to the likelihood that someone will commit a crime.
Criminogenic Needs • Dynamic or “changeable” risk factors that contribute to the likelihood that someone will commit a crime. • Changes in these needs / risk factors are associated with changes in recidivism.
“People involved in the justice system have many needs deserving treatment, but not all of these needs are associated with criminal behavior. ” - Andrews & Bonta (2006)

Non-Criminogenic Needs � Self-esteem � Anxiety � Lack of parenting skills � Medical needs � Victimization issues � Learning disability
Although NOT criminogenic risk factors, they are important to include in an effective RNR assessment. WHY?
Obtaining Information About Non-Criminogenic Needs may need to be addressed before or concurrently along with criminogenic needs in treatment since they may represent a barrier to effective participation in treatment otherwise. � They

Risk Principle tells us WHO to target … Need Principle tells us WHAT to target … … so now HOW do we do it?
Responsivity Principle • Identify offender strengths as they can be considered “protective” factors that may be built upon in treatment planning • Computer skills • Strong family relationships • High educational level • History of stable employment • Strong ties to recovering community
Responsivity Principle • Identify specific individual factors that might influence the effectiveness of treatment services • Anxiety • ADHD • Motivation Level • Gender • Reading Level / ESL • Language
How important is this really?

What did we do before? A Brief History of Assessments
First Generation � Based on Professional Judgment ◦ Unreliable, inaccurate ◦ Not helpful for case management
Second Generation � Better at predicting risk than First Generation � Based on historical / static items � Unable to show change post-treatment
Third Generation � Assessed offender needs as well as risk level � Included dynamic / changeable items � Theoretically based � Capable of re-assessment
Fourth Generation � Include identification of offender strengths � Assess offender responsivity factors � Include particular non-criminogenic needs � Stress the integration of assessment results into treatment / case planning, review and interventions
When choosing a RNR Assessment Instrument, make sure: � It actually DOES assess risk level, identify criminogenic needs and specific responsivity factors � Has a user’s / scoring manual and offers training in the administration and interpretation of results � Is normed on the population it is being administered, and preferably in the same setting
When choosing a RNR Assessment Instrument, make sure: � It is “user-friendly” � Permits re-assessment to show change � Demonstrates inter-rater reliability: two different staff members would score the same offender reaching the same / similar scores � Is valid for all offender types regardless of gender, ethnicity, race, offense type, state, region or country
It All Starts with the Assessment DE CR Valid, Reliable RNR Assessment Public Safety is Ensured * Cost Efficient EA SE DR Treatment Plan EC IDI * VIS M Appropriate Placement and Services Re-Assessment * near end of Review & Revise treatment cycle Informed Re-Entry / Reintegration Plan

Date: June 15, 2011, 2: 00 PM EST Presenter: Fred Zackon Title of Presentation: Core Recovery Goals for RSAT Programming � Description: This webinar aims to help RSAT staff sharpen their clinical focus on particularly important treatment goals. We will draw distinctions between broad objectives (e. g. , “begin a strong recovery, ” “learn to be drug-free”) and specific and measurable goals that represent foundational achievements of sustainable recovery and that can be well targeted by evidence -based approaches.
