The Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) Model: Does Adding the Good Lives Model Contribute to Effective Crime Prevention?
By Andrews, D.A.; Bonta, James; Wormith, J. Stephen.
“Recently, the good lives model (GLM) has been promoted as an alternative and enhancement to RNR [risk-need-responsivity].

In addition, GLM hypothesizes that enhancing personal fulfillment will lead naturally to reductions in criminogenic needs, whereas RNR posits the reverse direction. In this article the authors respond to GLM’s criticisms of RNR and conclude that little substance is added... Read More
