SESSION INFO

Tuesday, February 1, 2022
11:15 AM - 12:15 PM
Session Type: Workshop

Research on risk and need principles indicate that criminal behavior is predictable when using assessments of static and dynamic risk factors. Identifying the risks and needs of a client can help determine the intensity of supervision and monitoring needed to provide the best possible outcomes. However, criminal justice reform initiatives may change the nature of pretrial and probation supervision. How will these initiatives impact probation departments, and should client risk and need principles continue to guide the use of electronic monitoring?
