Smart Supervision (SSP) Grant Program Purpose: The SSP supports the development and implementa.on of evidence-based proba.on and parole programs that effec.vely address the needs of offenders, improve supervision success rates, and reduce recidivism. Goal: Increase successful supervision outcomes in order to reduce recidivism.
Trend 1: Conditions of Supervision Tailored based on RNR Factors Risk Focus supervision and services on those most likely to re-offend
Needs Address greatest criminogenic needs
Responsivity Adapt interac.ons/services to enhance clients’ ability to learn, acquire new a]tudes/ skills
Reflect the three “R” principles idenSfied by APPA
RealisSc Limited number so that individuals can sa.sfy, and officers can monitor
Relevant Informed by validated risk and needs assessments
Research-based Focus on interven.ons and rules proven to reduce crime, promote successful outcomes
Trend 2: Case Management Empirical assessments to iden.fy dynamic risk factors and criminogenic needs. Mo.va.onal interviewing to iden.fy goals, strengths, stability factors. Team-based approach including correc.onal counselors, treatment providers, employment counselors, and mentors. The client is a member of the team. Assessment and interview results to rank target areas for interven.on. Define specific ac.on steps to achieve clients’ goals. Define sanc.ons and incen.ves. Share schemes with clients, implement schemes with swibness and certainty to respond to qualifying situa.ons. Reassess clients at defined intervals or in response to defined trigger events (e.g., successful comple.on of program, compliance viola.on, loss of job). Update case management plans given new risk factors, levels, goals, strategies.

Trend 4: Quality Programs and EBPs w/ CBOs Research the target popula.on to determine needs of par.cipants. Learn whether there are a sufficient number of programs and program slots to address needs. Review the content of the programs to assess fidelity to evidence-based prac.ces and consider aspects of the program that affect par.cipants’ outcomes, including staff skills and community linkages. Address any deficiencies by providing training to service providers about general and specific topics, such as reentry and risk. Develop strategies to hold service providers accountable, such as a performance-based contrac.ng system.
