Program Summary: The Violence Prevention Program (VPP) was developed by the Correctional Service of Canada with the intent to decrease violence and recidivism among those convicted of violent offenses. The program focused on high-risk male prisoners and sought to impart skills that would allow them to identify past lifestyle choices that led to violence and become more aware the potential for violent situations in the future. The VPP consisted of three phases: intake screening, intervention, and post-treatment assessment. Participants were interviewed and psychometrically tested as a part of their intake screening. The intervention consisted of 10 modules that were facilitated over 94 two-hour group sessions. Participants attended six sessions per week. In the third phase, post-treatment assessment, participants completed a post-treatment assessment battery, reviewed their relapse prevention plan, participated in a structured exit interview, and put together a final program progress report that was reviewed by the participant and their parole officer.
