Evidence-based practices (EBP)are becoming increasingly popular in the field of corrections as a method to ensure that offenders are receiving the treatment they need to help reduce recidivism.

For your Discussion Board this week, research 1-2 community corrections agencies that have implemented EBP, and respond to the following:

• When did they first implement EBP?
• Have their recidivism rates changed since the implementation of EBP?
• How has EBP impacted case manager or probation officer caseloads?
• What impact do you think EBP has on case manager time-management strategies and workload?
