OFFENDERS' RISK AND NEEDS: INDIVIDUAL TREATMENT AND SUPERVISION OF CRIMINAL SANCTIONS AND COMMUNITY MEASURES

Summary/Abstract: In the introduction of the article the authors talk about the offenders’ treatment in the probation service of the Republic of Croatia. The authors will briefly describe the Risk - Needs - Responsibility Model (RnR), one of the most influential models in the area of assessment and treatment of offenders, and briefly the Good lives model (GLM).The central section reviews the categorization of the development of assessment instruments, and an overview of the Risk Assesment Tool (SPP) used by the probation service to assess the criminogenic risks and treatment needs of offenders, as well as the probability of reoffending. The SPP is based on a theoretical basis derived from the RnR model and GLMs, as well as the results of empirical researches.Furthermore, the authors emphasize the importance of assessing the criminogenic needs and the level of risks, because the planning of supervision and fulfillment of criminal sanction is based on assessment results, ie the content of the Individual Treatment Program prepared by the probation office. This directly affects the effective risk management and the main purpose of criminal sanctions, ie the protection of the wider community from reoffending, as well as offender’s resocialization and reintegration.
