A Primer on Risk/Needs/Receptivity Based Assessments and Treatment
(Corrections and Courts)
The RNR Model seeks to assess offenders for their level of risk for reoffending, identify criminogenic needs (issues in a persons’ life that relate to their likelihood to reoffend), and provide the best level and type of treatment needed. This training will introduce this concept and look at several assessment tools and training curriculum used in the
process. (2 to 3 hours)
