Risk-Reducing Interventions for Justice-Involved Individuals: A Critical Review

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Psychology and Law

Part of the book series: Advances in Psychology and Law ((APL,volume 2))

Abstract

This chapter reviews and critically analyzes the evidence for interventions for justice-involved individuals. The focus in particular is on interventions that reduce the risk of subsequent criminal offending. However, given the high prevalence of behavioral health disorders in this population, we also address the debate about whether such interventions should include a behavioral health component—and emphasize the value of interventions that have the potential to both improve behavioral health and reduce criminal offending risk.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The Sequential Intercept Model is a conceptual model that identifies five points at which standard criminal processing can be interrupted to provide diversion to treatment-oriented alternatives: (1) law enforcement/emergency services, (2) booking/initial court hearings, (3) jails/courts, (4) reentry, and (5) community corrections/community support.

  2. 2.

    This is defined broadly to include serious mental illness, substance abuse, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, intellectual disability, brain dysfunction, learning disorders, trauma-related disorders, and disorders of attention and concentration.
