The implementation of the '' Individual Treatment Plans for Offenders'' by the Agency of Corrections, Ministry of Justice, incorporating the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) model developed by eminent Canadian criminologists Andrews, Bonta, and Hoge since 1990, marks a pivotal shift in our nation's correctional landscape towards evidence-based practices and the integration of theoretical frameworks. This paper not only elucidates the substantive updates and revisions in the seventh edition of ''The Psychology of Criminal Conduct,'' authored by Andrews and Bonta, published in September 2023 but also systematically introduces the theoretical underpinnings of the RNR model, encompassing general personality and cognitive social learning perspectives, the eight dimensions of criminal risk/criminal needs and associated assessment instruments, the responsivity to tailoring treatment strategies and service protocols, while delineating their practical implementation across varied demographic cohorts such as juvenile and female offenders. Presently, while the Risk-Need-Responsivity model continues its evolution, its theoretical tenets, beyond their efficacy in recidivism reduction, are frequently leveraged by scholars for recidivism prediction. Consequently, a nuanced clarification regarding the distinction between recidivism reduction and recidivism prediction is provided. It is hoped that this paper, by contributing insights, will foster diverse perspectives in the contextualization process of applying and configuring the Risk-Need-Responsivity model, ultimately fostering a more efficacious progression. |
