Justice-involved individuals who reach the end of their full prison sentence no longer benefit from the supervision and rehabilitation services offered by probation or parole. Some of these individuals, who have been assessed to be a high risk for sexual and violent reoffending and deemed to pose a significant violence risk in the community if released, are placed on a judicial order in Canada, and police are asked to supervise and manage the risk of these individuals. In the current study, the files of 45 high-risk, justice-involved individuals, who completed their sentences, were released from a Canadian prison into the province of Alberta, and supervised by police under a judicial order, were reviewed for the presence of criminogenic and non-criminogenic needs over the first year of release. The associations between these needs and proximal reintegration outcomes were examined. Our findings revealed that basic needs and responsivity issues were prevalent in the early part of supervision; however, these factors were unrelated to proximal reintegration success. In contrast, criminogenic needs were prevalent and associated with poorer reintegration. This study reinforces the role that police can play in monitoring and addressing criminogenic needs with the goal of reducing recidivism and employing the help of non-police supports to address non-criminogenic needs.
刑满出狱的涉案人员不再能从缓刑或假释提供的监督和康复服务中受益。其中一些被评估为性犯罪和暴力再犯高风险且如果获释被认为会对社区构成重大暴力风险的人员，在加拿大被下达司法命令，警方被要求对这些人员的风险进行监督和管理。在当前研究中，对45名高风险涉案人员的档案进行了审查，这些人员刑满后从加拿大一所监狱获释进入艾伯塔省，并在司法命令下由警方监督，审查内容为释放后第一年里犯罪ogenic和非犯罪ogenic需求的存在情况。研究了这些需求与近期重新融入社会结果之间的关联。我们的研究结果显示，基本需求和反应性问题在监督初期普遍存在；然而，这些因素与近期重新融入社会的成功与否无关。相比之下，犯罪ogenic需求普遍存在且与较差的重新融入情况相关。本研究强化了警方在监测和解决犯罪ogenic需求方面可发挥的作用，目标是减少累犯，并借助非警方支持来满足非犯罪ogenic需求。
