Document Summary
In terms of correctional treatment, nothing works. (martinson) They did meta-analysis and came up with the principles of effective intervention1: General principles of classification: risk, need, rehabilitation, reduce risk of recidivating, responsivity, how can we ensure that they get the max benefit 2, professional discretion3. Intensity of treatment should be related to the risk. i. e. low risk should not get treatment because they don"t need it and it can sometimes worsen problems. Moderate risk gets some. e. g. rap - rideau alcohol prevention with prof. low risk ppl sometimes want in but won"t benefit from it. Psychopaths know the words not the music: know what to say, but not how to apply it. * you"re going to play more in terms of their grandiosity; narcissism as opposed to asking them how they thought the victim felt; they cannot relate to this.
