Document Summary
Week 3 1: risk factors for adult violence and offending. Violence: the actual, attempted, or threatened physical injury of another person that is deliberate and non- consensual. Risk: identify who should be offered more intensive rehabilitative services: determining who is high risk. Needs: what are the most important areas to address to reduce criminal behavior. Responsivity: identify characteristics to match to styles, modes, and strategies of service: limited research on responsivity. Static: unchangeable, although can potentially target secondary outcomes: also called historical factors. Secondary outcomes like ptsd: important for prediction of risk only, ex: offence history, trauma history. Dynamic: changeable, can be targeted with intervention: important for risk and for identifying treatment targets, ex: substance abuse, poor peer relationships, dynamic can be broken down into. Acute: important for imminent risk and immediate intervention. Big four + moderate four = central eight. Leisure/recreation (low involvement in prosocial) rationalisations favorable to crime)
