An important analytical framework in research on non-specific (i.e., common) factors that may contribute to successful prevention and treatment of delinquency is the risk- need-responsivity (RNR) model (Andrews et al., 1990). The risk principle states that the intensity of treatment should match the risk of (re)committing a criminal offense, the need principle states that dynamic (i.e., changeable) criminogenic risk factors should be assessed by agencies and targeted in treatment, and the responsivity principle states that treatment (cognitive-behavioral) should be fine-tailored to the learning style, motivation, abilities, and strengths of the (potential) offender (Andrews & Bonta, 2006). Andrews and Bonta (2010) provided empirical evidence showing that interventions that adhere to the RNR model can substantially reduce criminal offense recidivism. Keywords: Juvenile justice
