Parallel Workshops

Drawing on work in Canada as well as internationally, this presentation will focus on how the evidence-based assessment of offenders and the use of assessment results to guide appropriate interventions is the foundation of a "What Works" approach to corrections, contributing to the safety and security of offenders, staff and the public, the humane custody of prisoners, the ability to individualize case and sentence planning, and the monitoring of change over time.
