Resource: This week’s Electronic Reserve Readings
Imagine you are tasked with developing a psychometrically based self-report instrument for a juvenile inmate or offender.
Research the evidence-based approach for assessment risk, need, and responsivity (RNR) model.
Create a 12 to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes in each slide that includes the following:
· A case study for this juvenile inmate or offender who has a mental illness that contains the following:
- Provide a profile of the juvenile, including his or her mental illness and offense committed.
- Specify the risk principle, need principle, and responsivity principle for this juvenile related to his or her mental illness.
- Summarize the guidelines that must be followed when using a psychometrically based self-report instrument.
- Using these guidelines, select an appropriate assessment instrument for the juvenile in your case study.
- Explain why your selected assessment instrument is appropriate.
