Int J Offender Ther Comp Criminol. 2007 Oct;51(5):578-98. doi: 10.1177/0306624X06296236. Epub 2007 Jun 28.

Abstract

In this article we operationalise the theoretical concepts of the Good Lives Model (GLM) of offender rehabilitation by providing a step-by-step framework for assessment, formulation, treatment planning, and monitoring with a high-risk violent offender residing in the community. The case study illustrates how the GLM can be applied to complement and enhance traditional Risk-Management interventions and shows how the GLM's clinical relevance extends from sex offending to broader offending typologies.
