Cognitive Skills Behavior Programs for Offenders in the Community (original) (raw)

Cognitive skills behavior programs are critical in managing offenders within the community, influencing their rehabilitation and recidivism rates. This paper discusses the implementation of three key programs: R & R, Enhanced Thinking Skills (ETS), and Think First, focusing on their model utilization, success metrics, and evaluations. Key findings indicate variations in reconviction rates among offenders who completed these programs compared to those who did not, suggesting the importance of adherence to cognitive-behavioral techniques for effective rehabilitation.
