AB The application of the Risk, Needs and Responsivity (RNR) principles to offender rehabilitation has proliferated internationally due to its success in reducing re-offending. In Singapore, these principles have laid the foundation in shaping rehabilitation policies and practices. The social-ecological approach is given equal importance and integrates strengths-based considerations, given Singapore's social context which places value on (i) the family as the basic unit of society, and (ii) community support for individuals. Taken together, Singapore's adoption of evidence-based and whole-of-society approaches, undergirded by robust policies, are key strategies to optimise rehabilitation outcomes. This is illustrated in how correctional workers, families, volunteers, and the broader community are engaged with offenders to support desistance and positive change.
