One of the primary priorities of incarceration is providing treatments and rehabilitation to reduce recidivism rates (Jeglic, Maile, & Calkins-Mercado, 2015). Between the 1950s and 1960s, some researchers provided evidence regarding the effectiveness of treating criminals, however, in 1974, Martinson reviewed 230 studies in regard to treatment, concluding no real effectiveness in treatments (Martin, 1974). Additionally, the findings demonstrated a shift in approach from rehabilitative to punitive. Andrews et al. (1990) set out to identify a theory explaining why some treatments are deemed effective while others were not. As a result, the risk–need–responsibility (RNR) model was developed to assess the success of treatment programs and has been empirically supported for its effectiveness in evaluating offender treatment programs (Andrews, Bonta, & Hoge, 1990; Andrews & Bonta, 1998). The RNR model focuses on three core rehabilitation principles: risk, need, and responsibility (Jeglic et al., 2015). Treatments, in relation to offender’s risk to the community, relay “offenders who are identified as being at high risk to re offend should receive the most intensive treatment available, whereas offenders identified as low risk should receive less intensive treatment (p.38)

Treatments, in relation to offender’s risk to the community, relay “offenders who are identified as being at high risk to re offend should receive the most intensive treatment available, whereas offenders identified as low risk should receive less intensive treatment (p.38)”; as for the need principle, therapies should address the needs of the offender and offer modifications to risk factors that are susceptible to change; lastly, responsibility principle relates to the treatment reflecting the offender’s “learning style, motivational level, and cultural background (p.38)” (Jeglic et al., 2015). Thus, violent, non-violent, and trauma victim treatments may differ significantly, but also consist of similar strategies.Cognitive behavioral therapy interventions focus on challenging and modifying distorted thoughts, beliefs and behaviors, improving ‘emotional regulation’, and the development of effective coping strategies (Beck, 2011).
