Swift and Certain Responses to Violations: Have We Found the Silver Bullet for Recidivism Reduction, or Have We Created an Obstacle to Evidence-Based Practices for Recidivism Reduction?
SESSION INFO
Monday, February 26, 2024
9:45 AM - 10:45 AM
Session Type: Workshop
The history of probation, parole, and community corrections is replete with examples of practices and programs that begin with the promise of enhancing public safety, but end with disappointment. There are many reasons why our profession adopts new strategies for doing business. Ideally, it should be because public safety and justice are enhanced. In reality, however, the adoption of new programs and practices may be based on political and public perceptions and seemingly commonsense, which in the end may be closer to nonsense. This workshop will explore what works and what does not regarding recidivism reduction, the politics of community correctional policies and practices, and the need for a creating a work environment where line staff can effectively manage short-term risk and accomplish long-term behavioral reform.
