We’re excited to continue offering our free series on The Principles of Effective Intervention!

For decades, UCCI has led the way in translating research into practical strategies that bring “what works” to life. Despite significant advancements, crime persists, making it essential to revisit the Principles of Effective Intervention (Bonta & Andrews, 2023) for deeper insights. This engaging, evidence-based 3-part webinar series is designed for correctional practitioners and explores overarching principles, core RNR and key areas, and organizational strategies for effective intervention — all with the goal of expanding your agency’s playbook to shape safer communities. While participation in all three sessions isn’t required, the series is crafted to show how these principles overlap and interlock for maximum impact.

  • Session 1: The Evolution of PEI and Overarching Principles - Explore the historical development and foundational concepts that underpin effective intervention strategies.
  • Session 2: The Core RNR Principles and Key Areas - Gain a deeper understanding of the essential components within the RNR framework and key areas.
  • Session 3: The Organizational Principles - Discover how organizational structures and practices can be optimized to support and enhance effective interventions.
