Summary/Abstract: Evidence-based practice is a current trend in almost all areas of humane services, a consequence of scientific and technological development during the second half of the 20th century with the need and possibilities of connecting and exploiting resources from various fields of social activity, with the aim of having a more humane and effective approach to solving human problems and needs. Evidence-based practice in dealing with offenders is a set of components and characteristics of a rehabilitation program that reduces the rate of recidivism when effectively incorporated into the field of change incriminal behaviour and attitudes. in dealing with offenders, evidence-based practice includes a validated risk and criminogenic needs assessment, motivational interviews and cognitive-behavioural programs. These elements are covered by the principles of the Risk-need-Responsivity (RnR) model, which is a theoretical and empirical approach to work with juvenile and adult offenders, in particular on implementing community sanctions and measures. The model also includes the development of validated risk assessment tools and principles of evidence-based practice of rehabilitation treatment providers.
