  • Description: Given the proportion of individuals under community supervision, as well as the difference in cost when compared to incarceration, the continual improvement of community interventions to promote prosocial behavior change should continue to be a major focus for correctional agencies and policymakers. Based on these numbers, even a minimal increase in the effectiveness of both case management techniques and intervention strategies will produce significant cost savings for correctional agencies, enhancing decarceration efforts. Over the last few decades, considerable research has provided a theoretical perspective to understanding criminal behavior, as well as a set of principles that intend to guide the management and treatment of correctional clients (Bonta & Andrews, 2017), including those under community supervision (e.g., Bourgon & Gutierrez, 2012). Participants were low-moderate risk probationers who had previously been assessed using the Texas Risk Assessment System (Criminal Justice Connections, 2015), which combines and interprets an individual's criminal history and criminogenic needs to create the most effective case management plan.
