RNR Model (Risk, Need, Responsivity)

The RNR Model (Risk, Need, Responsivity) is a framework used in criminal justice to guide effective rehabilitation. It suggests that interventions should match an individual's risk level (high or low), focus on specific needs related to the offense, and adapt to the person’s learning style and strengths. By addressing these areas, the model aims to reduce the likelihood of reoffending and support meaningful change. It emphasizes personalized, targeted approaches rather than one-size-fits-all solutions, improving both safety and the chances of successful reintegration into society.
