CRJS 491 Final Exam questions and
solutions graded A
general responsivity - rehabilitative efforts will work better if they have clear,
concrete objectives, their contents are structured and there is a focus on activity
and the acquisition of skills
specific responsivity - it is vital to adapt intervention strategies to accommodate
diversity amongst participants with respect to age, gender, ethnicity, sexuality,
language, culture and learning styles
RNR general recidivism rate - 53 percent
multimodal - addresses a mixture of risks and needs
theory and evidence based models - models with the highest rates and evidence of
working
benefit cost ratio - used to determine if programs to prevent crime save the CJS
money
risk level - based on criminal history and likelihood of reoffending
risk factors as targets of change - dynamic risk factors such as social interaction,
egocentric attitudes, poor social or cognitive skills etc.
multiple targets - multimodal styles of methods (addressing multiple criminogenic
needs)
, treatment integrity - integrity and fidelity must be routinely checked to ensure a
maintained level of good results
penal harm movement - This movement has been characterized by elected officials
voicing harsh rhetoric and promising to 'get tough' on crime and, most
significantly, by the enthusiastic embrace of mass imprisonment
penal populism - general public want criminals locked away, and force this by
punitive public ideals that force elected officials to listen or not get the vote
prejudiced public - uses racial and ethnic animus to excite punitive sentiments and
policies
progressive public (dispositional view) - sees crime as factors that lie within the
individual. Logically, the solution is to punish such waywardness so that these
deviant souls will learn that crime does not pay
progressive public (situational view) - crime as factors that lie outside of the
individual. Stopping crime thus requires social welfare programmes that mitigate
these social disadvantages and interventions that insulate youngsters from these
conditions
rehabilitative public - Support for rehabilitation across gender, offender types,
modalities, and juvenile rehab
prejudiced public - intermingling of race and crime
