EuroPris and ICPA share the belief that quality research can help direct both the design and delivery of correctional services. The tradition of our Correctional Research Symposiums (CRSs) is an expression of that belief and an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to come together and discuss the challenges of getting from research to practice.
Our fourth CRS will highlight a related belief; the fact that our rehabilitative efforts with justice-involved Individuals are not enough. We need to also engage with, be able to rely on, and steadily work to expand, support from the broader Ecosystem.
In emphasising the need for expansion of our approaches, we hope this conference can begin to move research and practitioner focus to an integration of traditionally opposing paradigms. How do we create environments where the Risk-Needs-Responsivity Model, Good Lives Model, Desistance and Recovery Models (and others) work together to complement each other for the benefit of institutional and community corrections?
