Hi, friend! Following my prior post, when I searched for more information about the Central Eight, I further noticed two concepts: dynamic risk factors and criminogenic needs. I am not sure of their meanings in the juvenile crime context. Could anyone kindly offer me a hand?

Hi there. As previously noted, juveniles with more ACEs are more likely to come into contact with the juvenile justice system. And I have searched for some literature and found a Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) theory, which has been suggested effective for providing service. Could anyone kindly explain more to me?

Hi, friend! Following my previous post, your information about ACE is so fascinating! I wonder if you could give me more information? Such as how could I evaluate the client’s ACE experience?

Hi there. After searching for more information, I found out that Many treatment programs in the criminal justice system have operated without evaluations for many years, only to find out later that key outcome data are needed to justify program continuation. Hence, our team thinks it may help if we conduct also a process evaluation. Grateful if anyone could give me a clue about the directions for the process evaluation.
