Forensic assertive community treatment (FACT) is an adaptation of the assertive community treatment model designed to prevent criminal recidivism through criminal justice collaborations. A national survey was conducted to examine FACT collaborations with probation departments.
Members of the National Association of County Behavioral Health and Developmental Disability Directors were surveyed to identify FACT programs. Programs reporting collaborations with probation departments were contacted to provide details.
Fifty-six percent of FACT programs (15 of 27) reported collaborating with probation departments. Probation officers were assigned an average of 29±16 hours weekly, and 80% of programs (12 of 15) reported a favorable impact of collaboration on risk of patient rearrest. Only two programs reported using standard tools to formally assess recidivism risk. The most common barrier to collaboration was differences in philosophy between FACT team clinicians and probation officers.
FACT collaborations involving probation departments are common and are viewed by most program leaders as helpful in reducing criminal recidivism.
法医坚定社区治疗（FACT）是坚定社区治疗模式的一种改编，旨在通过刑事司法合作预防犯罪再犯。进行了一项全国性调查，以研究与缓刑部门的 FACT 合作。
对全国县行为健康和发育障碍主任协会的成员进行了调查，以确定 FACT 计划。报告与缓刑部门合作的计划被联系以提供详细信息。
56%的 FACT 计划（27 个中的 15 个）报告与缓刑部门合作。缓刑官每周平均分配 29±16 小时的工作时间，80%的计划（15 个中的 12 个）报告合作对患者再逮捕风险有积极影响。只有两个计划报告使用标准工具正式评估累犯风险。合作的最常见障碍是 FACT 团队临床医生和缓刑官之间的哲学差异。
涉及缓刑部门的 FACT 合作很常见，大多数项目负责人认为这有助于减少犯罪再犯。
