Rehabilitation von Straftätern

摘要

The German correctional treatment in prison, social therapeutic units and social therapy capitalizes on therapeutic interventions developed in English-speaking countries, which are based on the risk-need-responsivity model (RNR). However, this approach is rarely discussed in the German literature. The present article aims at filling this gap by illustrating the basic assumptions, strengths and limitations of the RNR model. Moreover, this presentation highlights the usefulness of the RNR model for the treatment of offenders.
