  2. What can you make of these parts? Did you envision this?

  3. Each persona has different needs… Human Needs DV Needs Offender Needs

  4. Domestic Violence Needs DV Needs • Regulating emotions • Anger specifically • Educating about relationships • Abusive • VS • Healthy • Teaching skills • Conflict resolution • Problem-solving

  5. What does the research say about reducing the chances offenders will reoffend? • Effective principles in reducing recidivism: • Risk-the likelihood an offender will re-offend • Need-the factors influencing the offender to reoffend • Responsivity-how to work with offenders based on general and specific characteristics Lowenkamp & Latessa

  6. Criminogenic Needs Offender Needs • Antisocial History (Behaviors) • Antisocial Attitudes • Antisocial Cognitions • Antisocial Peers • Relationships • Family • Education/Career • Leisure/Recreation • Substance Abuse

  7. What Does the Research Say? • Over 500 programs were evaluated based on these principles and results indicate: • Target moderate to highrisk offenders • Separate low from moderate/high risk • Focus on criminogenic needs • Utilize an evidence-based intervention (Cognitive/Behavioral/Social Learning) • Adjust approach to specificneeds of individuals (cultural, sex, age, mental health, IQ, motivation) Lowenkamp & Latessa

  8. How do you assess for DV needs? • Screening • Clinical Interview • Lethality Assessment • Domestic Violence Inventory (DVI) • Others?

  9. How do you assess for criminogenic risk and need? • Level of Service Inventory – Revised (LSI-R) • Ohio Risk Assessment System (ORAS) • Wisconsin Risk Assessment • Risk and Needs Triage (RANT) • Others?

  10. Criminal Justice Services • Utilizes the LSI-R • Probation Officers are trained in: • Administration • Scoring • Case Planning • Sends the results to treatment providers

  13. DV Offender Treatment Domestic Violence Regulations RNR Recommendations Research suggests: Target moderate-high risk offenders Separate low from moderate/high risk offenders Treatment should be 3-9 months and vary by risk Aftercare provided Incorporate criminogenic needs CBT techniques Responsivity measures • Court Ordered: • Probation supervision • 1+ years • Check-ins • DV treatment • 16 Weeks • No victim contact • No weapons • Urine analysis tests • Other requirements as recommended by Probation (substance abuse, anger management, etc.) Loweknmap & Latessa

  14. How would you like them all to come together? DV needs + Criminogenic Needs + Court Orders + Research = TX plan = Reduced Crime
