assessment and treatment of offenders

Assessment and treatment of offenders involve evaluating their behavior, mental health, and risk of reoffending to guide appropriate interventions. Assessment includes psychological testing and interviews to understand underlying issues, such as trauma or mental illness. Treatment aims to address these factors through counseling, therapy, or programs focusing on behavior change, skills development, and therapy. The goal is to reduce the chances of reoffending and support responsible reintegration into society. This process is carefully tailored to each individual, balancing public safety with rehabilitation efforts.
