Abstract

Although a large body of research suggests that adherence to RNR model is correlated with program outcome, only a small body of research examines how it applies to programs that serve sex offenders. The current study uses the Correctional Program Checklist (CPC) to measure how well eight community correctional facilities that serve sex offenders adhere to the Risk Need and Responsivity (RNR) model. Outcome evaluations are then used to see whether scores on the CPC are correlated with program effect size. The results find moderate to strong correlations between CPC scores and program effect sizes.
