L’exploration du modèle des vies saines auprès de détenus dans un milieu de réinsertion sociale encadré par un modèle de gestion du risque
The social reintegration of offenders is a focus point in modern criminology and different ideologies concerning its effectiveness exist. Considering this aspect, the present study based on the Good lives model, which is a relatively new social reinsertion model that has been minimally utilized by the Correctional service of Canada (CSC). We are exploring the possible application of the Good lives model principles in the actual correctional context. More specifically, we wish to study the compatibility of the Good lives model with offenders in halfway house inside a context of risk management that is using the Risk-Need-Responsivity model. To do so, we use a qualitative methodology based on case studies, using observations, interviews and file information to illustrate the aspects of the two models. This type of methodology allowed us to conclude that it is possible to apply certain aspects of the Good lives model proposed by Ward within a social reinsertion context. On the other hand, the principles and the frame of the actual context of risk management challenges the principles of the Good lives model, which do not allow an entire application of it. Based on our results, a few hypotheses are proposed tin order to make the actual framework used in different correctional settings of Correctional service of Canada more flexible.
