Article 7: Changes: An Experimental Implementation of a Cognitive-Behavioral Recidivism Reduction Strategy in France (ACJ15-A007)

 
Abstract
CHANGES training1 is currently being implemented in France as part of an initiative with two probation departments, initiated by the Ecole Nationale d’Administration Pénitentiaire (ENAP). This is the first attempt to provide officers with an evidence-based cognitive-behavioral strategy for supervising justice-involved individuals on a face-to-face basis. The implementation of the CHANGES program will be discussed, including from the perspective of trainers and probation officers. The levers and barriers to implementing such strategies will be discussed, as well as a venues for improvements following this small-scale initiative.
