3. Analyse major criminological offender rehabilitation models (e.g. the Risk-Need-Responsivity Model; Good Lives Model), approaches (e.g. therapeutic jurisprudence, restorative justice) and concepts (e.g. criminogenic risk, desistance, social capital, engagement), and be able to apply them in practice scenarios.
4. Evaluate and appraise complex links that can exist between criminal offending and issues of health, welfare and social inequalities (e.g. poverty, homelessness, substance misuse, mental illness).
