Be sure to consider at least (certainly not only) – The Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) Model – Origins of the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) Model ? Broadly discuss the origins of the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) Model. Then track the goals have the goals always been the same? Did they change at some point? If so, why? What are the most current goals of the RNR Model? – What does it mean to be Evidence-Based – The efficacy of the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) –
