In the aftermath of Martinson's 1974 "nothing works" doctrine,
scholars have made a concerted effort to develop an evidence-based
corrections theory and practice to show "what works" to change
offenders. Perhaps the most important contribution to this effort
was made by a group of Canadian psychologists, most notably Donald
Andrews, James Bonta, and Paul Gendreau, who developed a treatment
paradigm called the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) model, which
became the dominant theory of correctional treatment. This approach
was more recently challenged by a perspective developed by Tony
Ward, Shadd Maruna, and others, called the Good Lives Model (GLM).
Based in part on desistance research and positive psychology, this
model proposes to rehabilitate offenders by building on the
strengths offenders possess. GLM proponents see the RNR model as a
deficit model that fixes dynamic risk factors rather than
identifying what offenders value most, and using these positive
factors to pull them out of crime. Through a detailed examination
of both models' theoretical and correctional frameworks, The Future
of Correctional Rehabilitation: Moving Beyond the RNR Model and
Good Lives Model Debate probes the extent to which the models offer
incompatible or compatible approaches to offender treatment, and
suggests how to integrate the RNR and GLM approaches to build a new
and hopefully more effective vision for offender treatment. A
foreword by renowned criminologist Francis T. Cullen helps put the
material into context. This book will be of much interest to
scholars and students studying correctional rehabilitation as well
as practitioners working with offenders.
