EBPs moved probation case management from a monitoring and control model, toward a behavioral change and treatment approach. EBP refers to approaches and interventions that have been proven effective at reducing offender risk to reoffend. When replicated with fidelity and matched to the offender's risk and needs profile, using EBPs provides more assurance for improved outcomes and reduced recidivism for juvenile offenders....
