Current Knowledge on Economic Impacts of Correctional Programs

Correctional programming within the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) is intended to reduce criminogenic risk factors via evidence-based interventions, with the underlying goal of reducing recidivism and promoting public safety. CSC’s suite of interventions is based on the “Risk-Needs-Responsivity” model, whereby the level of intervention corresponds with level of risk, programs address criminogenic risk factors, and delivery of programming is tailored to the characteristics and needs of the offender (Andrews et al., 2011; CSC, 2021).
