The Risk-Need-Responsivity Model

The Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) Model is a framework used primarily in criminal justice to improve rehabilitation outcomes. It focuses on three key principles: 1. **Risk** - Assess how likely a person is to re-offend and tailor interventions accordingly. 2. **Need** - Identify specific factors or issues contributing to criminal behavior, such as substance abuse or lack of job skills. 3. **Responsivity** - Adapt strategies to fit the individual’s learning style and personal circumstances, ensuring they are engaged in the process. Together, these principles aim to provide effective and personalized support to reduce recidivism.
