ABSTRACT
Where do we go from here? One option is to adjudicate in favor of one theory and then devote our subsequent discussion to its implications for researchers, policy-makers and practitioners. Another possibility is to sidestep the debate slightly and consider what RNR and the GLM can both offer correctional workers without advocating one rather than the other. After seriously considering both alternatives, we have opted for the latter strategy. We think it is best to focus on the strengths of both approaches and thus avoid premature closure on the possibilities of either. This means taking seriously the proposal that the rehabilitation of offenders is both an evaluative and capacity building process.
