ABSTRACT

The GLM is a very new theory of offender rehabilitation and therefore is still at the point of being theoretically elaborated, debated and critiqued. It has been presented as a complementary theory to RNR because of its ability to include both goods-promotion and risk-management aims within its policy and practice guidelines. This enables correctional workers to employ empirically supported interventions to reduce risk in a way that capitalizes on clients’ desires to live a worthwhile life.
