Document Summary
Placing offenders into the least-restrictive setting possible = when inmates viewed as a threat to the community at large and therefore able to live within the community. Dynamic factors of recidivism: criminogenic needs: individuals risks/needs are assessed on entry into a federal correctional facility = select the proper response offenders into the community. Corrections and conditional release act (ccra) = goals of reintegrating. Most intensive correctional treatment/intervention programs should be reserved for offenders at higher risk. Essential to place high-risk offenders in high-risk supervision programs because they do reduce risk of recidivism versus putting the high-risk offender in a regular program. Risks are considered static factors = dynamic factors. Static factors include = prior record of offender. Dynamic factors (need factors) = characteristics of offender that can be changed through correctional programming (education, cognitive thinking skills, occupational skills, interpersonal skills)
