KEY CONCEPTS IN EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE
Definition
risk principle
need principle
responsivity principle
Term
risk principle
Definition
Th e risk principle refers to the probability that a youth will
reoff end, based on characteristics that are correlated with future
delinquency. Th ese risk factors are static, or non-changeable. Th ey
include, for example, current age, age at fi rst arrest, and number
of prior arrests. Risk information is used to classify juveniles for
purposes of supervision and to determine the level of external
control and treatment required during that supervision.
Term
need principle
Definition
The need principle defi nes the juvenile’s individual and
environmental attributes that are predictive of future delinquent
behavior and that can be changed (i.e., that are dynamic in
nature). Th ese are known as criminogenic needs. Examples
of criminogenic needs include antisocial attitudes and beliefs,antisocial peers, temperament issues (such as impulsivity and
poor problem-solving and decision-making skills), lack of
family support, substance abuse, lack of education, and lack of
prosocial leisure outlets. In order to reduce the probability of
delinquency and recidivism, a juvenile’s criminogenic needs must
be accurately assessed and then eff ectively addressed through
individual supervision and programmatic interventions. Th e
primary tool for formally establishing, tracking, and documenting
the accomplishment of these goals is a comprehensive case
plan that describes the steps that must be taken by the juvenile
probation officer, service provider, and juvenile to reduce the risk
of recidivism.
Term
responsivity principle
Definition
The responsivity principle emphasizes the importance of
characteristics that infl uence a juvenile’s ability and motivation to
learn. Individual traits that interfere with—or facilitate—learning
are known as “responsivity factors.” Th e basic assumption
underlying the responsivity principle is that all juveniles and all
programs are not the same. As such, better treatment outcomes
will result from properly matching a young person’s individual
characteristics (e.g., culture, cognitive ability, maturity, and
gender) with service characteristics (e.g., location, structure,
length, dosage, methodology, and facilitator traits).
Term
In short, the risk principle helps identify who should receive
juvenile justice interventions and treatment. Th e need principle
focuses on what about the young person must be addressed.
Th e responsivity principle underscores the importance of how
treatment should be delivered, with behavioral and cognitive
behavioral skill-building techniques being the most eff ective.

Term

Definition
"Thinking Errors"
Term
Thinking errors have the tendency to...
Definition
rationalize and justify antisocial or delinquent behavior, difficulty
interpreting social cues, underdeveloped moral reasoning, a sense
of entitlement, a failure to assess consequences of actions, a lack
of empathy for others, and poor problem-solving and decision-making
skills. Such skill difficulties can lead to rigid responses to
stressful situations, impulsivity, and emotional or violent reactions
to perceived disrespect or danger. They tend to engender strong
emotions in adolescents that, in turn, reduce their ability to
address problems in a calm and reasoned fashion.
