Question 1

Ilhan, a female offender, was interested to hear what the Auditor General's recommendations would be for her and other female inmates. Which of the following is an example of a concern for Ilhan outside of prison that the Auditor General highlighted?
A)reoffending once released
B)conditional release revoked although no new offence
C)return to substance abuse once released
D)lack of employment once released

Accepted Answer

The Auditor General highlighted the concern of conditional release being revoked although no new offence was committed, which is an issue for inmates like Ilhan outside of prison. This points to the challenges in the parole system and its impact on former inmates trying to reintegrate into society.

Question 2

Which of the following is an assumption of reintegration?
A)the use of alternative sanctions should be minimal
B)rehabilitation-oriented programs work the best
C)only the most serious offenders should be incarcerated

Accepted Answer

C

Question 3

Which of the following is NOT a function the Correctional Service of Canada performs for each offender?
A)monitors and assesses the offender's progress in learning and changing
B)provides a generic plan to increase the likelihood that the offender will function in the community as a law-abiding citizen
C)after release, helps the offender respect the conditions of the release and resolve day-to-day living problems
D)makes required programs and interventions available in the community

Accepted Answer

The Correctional Service of Canada tailors plans for each offender rather than providing a generic plan, as individualized plans are more effective in addressing specific needs and risks associated with the offender.

Question 4

What is the factor in a risk assessment that states the level of supervision and treatment should be commensurate with the offender's level of risk?
A)reintegration
B)risk
C)responsivity
D)need

Accepted Answer

The factor in a risk assessment that states the level of supervision and treatment should be commensurate with the offender's level of risk is referred to as "risk." This principle is based on the risk principle of case classification, which suggests that the intensity of correctional interventions should match the offender's risk level to re-offend.

Question 5

Which of the following is the main tool used to collect information such as the offender's prior criminal record and his or her potential for violence?
A)Offender Intake Assessment
B)Offender Interview and Assessment

According to the reintegration approach, what is a major predictor of recidivism?
A)failure to follow instructions by prison staff
B)prosocial personality orientation
C)procriminal associates
D)lack of interpersonal supports for crime

Which theory underlies the Offender Intake Assessment?
A)the theory of offender behaviour
B)the theory of risk assessment
C)the theory of needs
D)the theory of best results

Accepted Answer

Question 9

Which of the following is NOT a key factor in a risk assessment?
A)risk
B)need

Over what percentage of offenders are released back into society?
A)75 percent
B)80 percent
C)85 percent
D)90 percent

Accepted Answer

Over 90 percent of offenders are released back into society, indicating the importance of rehabilitation and reintegration programs to reduce recidivism.

A)deterrence
B)rehabilitation
C)restoration
D)selective incapacitation

Accepted Answer

Question 14

What pattern in recidivism rates did Kiessling (1989) find in his research of high-risk cases placed in a high-risk supervision program vs. higher-risk cases in a regular supervision program?
A)recidivism was lower
B)recidivism was approximately the same
C)recidivism was slightly higher
D)recidivism was substantially higher

Accepted Answer

Kiessling (1989) found that recidivism was lower for high-risk cases placed in a high-risk supervision program compared to higher-risk cases in a regular supervision program.

Question 15

Niraj was looking at the effectiveness of treatment programs for youth offenders. Where did he find the greatest reductions in reoffending after reading the study conducted by Lipsey?
A)when higher-risk offenders were treated
B)when medium-risk offenders were treated
C)when low-risk offenders were treated
D)when chronic offenders were treated

Accepted Answer

Lipsey's meta-analysis found that treatment programs are most effective for higher-risk offenders, showing greater reductions in reoffending rates among this group compared to medium, low, or chronic offenders. This is based on the principle that interventions can have a more significant impact when there is more room for improvement.

Which term best describes most of the major predictors of recidivism used by the reintegration approach?
A)dynamic
B)static
C)general
D)fulfilling

Accepted Answer

Dynamic predictors of recidivism, which can change over time (such as employment status, social relationships, and substance use), are key to the reintegration approach, focusing on factors that can be altered to reduce the likelihood of reoffending.

Question 19

In which type of setting are offenders most often placed when the reintegration process begins?
A)least restrictive setting
B)fairly restrictive setting
C)moderate restrictive setting
D)most restrictive setting

Accepted Answer
