RESHAPING JUSTICE: THE POWER OF INNOVATIVE BEHAVIORAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Posted by The Carey Group on Dec 21, 2023

It's challenging to shift one's mindset and break old habits. Many of us tend to
stick to familiar behaviors and thoughts because they are comfortable and we
know how to navigate the consequences, whether they are positive or negative.
Acknowledging that certain behaviors consistently lead to negative outcomes is
the first step toward change. However, the process of change takes time, and for
optimal results, it's crucial to have the support and encouragement of others. 

Justice professionals, especially those working with persons under judicial
supervision, are uniquely positioned to provide support and encouragement that
will, over time, effect lasting, positive change. The interactions between
justice professionals and those receiving supportive services, from the first
encounter to the last, profoundly impact outcomes.  

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: THE ROLE OF JUSTICE PROFESSIONALS 

Clarifying roles during the initial appointment and building a professional and
respectful alliance/rapport will help to define interactions moving forward.
Additionally, establishing positive and purposeful expectations, rather than
focusing solely on stipulations and conditions, helps people see that you want
them to succeed. 

THE ASSESSMENT 

Success is dependent on a variety of factors. Therefore, assessing one’s risks
and needs early on is essential. Conducting evidence-based assessment enables
justice professionals to identify risk level, strengths, responsivity factors,
and the criminogenic need that most influence one’s behavior. Armed with these
insights, justice professionals can engage in collaborative discussions with
individuals receiving supportive services, working together to identify SMART
(specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, time-based) objectives.

SECOND CHANCES & CHANGING HABITS 

The next consideration, which should also be discussed together, is what will
happen if a person under supervision fails to meet a goal completely or in the
necessary timeframe or gets in trouble again. Having checks and balances and
defined intervention plans for redirecting negative behavior are vital in
helping someone succeed. As the saying goes, “If at first you don’t succeed,
try, try again.” Second chances are core to improving justice outcomes.  

Statistically, 40 to 60 percent of people with substance use disorder will
experience a relapse. Recognizing that a majority of people with justice
involvement have a substance use disorder, relapse in all its forms is something
justice professionals will regularly witness throughout their careers. 

Partnerships with substance use and mental health treatment providers, as well
as with recovery community organizations and other contributors to a client’s
care team, are essential, especially during times of crisis when intervention is
needed most. Whether connecting someone with a sponsor, a group, counseling, or
treatment (inpatient or outpatient), doing so swiftly and proactively makes a
huge difference.  

While seasoned justice professionals may be able to identify potential risks of
relapse or recidivism without depending on data, new and intermediate
professionals may not always immediately and independently recognize risk
factors. Additionally, to avoid bias and ensure equitable supervision services,
the utilization of evidence-based practices, tools, and resources is
recommended.  

Fortunately, as technology has evolved over the years, web-based behavior
management systems have been developed to help justice professionals promote
prosocial behavior, identify risks/needs, understand the frequency of behaviors
and responses, and more appropriately and accurately intervene when someone is
struggling.  

AS EASY AS 1, 2, 3…. 

When using a behavior management system, justice professionals at all
organizational levels can easily access case information, track and report
real-time data, create custom reports, view and assign caseloads, and more
efficiently manage time and practices. Additionally, the utilization of a
behavior management system: 

 * Promotes prosocial behavior 
 * Prevents noncompliant behavior 
 * Determines consistent and appropriate responses to noncompliant behavior 
 * Increases transparency and clarity for staff and clients 
 * Reinforces data-informed and evidence-based practices 
 * Allows agencies to customize and manage policy decisions 

Behavior management systems are beneficial to the people under supervision. For
instance, when people can frequently check-in online and see their progress and
levels/areas of risk, they’re better able to proactively redirect their
behaviors to align with their outcome goals. 

4:1 BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BMS)®  

The Carey Group’s 4:1 Behavior Management System (BMS)® offers all of these
features as well as allows for customization, including:  

 * Ability to develop their own incentive and response matrix 
 * Identify specific behaviors to track and recognize or respond to
   consistently 
 * Incorporating agency name and logo into the software banner - keeping with
   communication consistency 
 * Selecting job titles and hierarchies of positions within the organization 
 * Decision-making authority of each relative to behavior management 
 * Auto-generating emails from staff to supervisors, court personnel, and
   others 

Aligning with research, the 4:1 Behavior Management System (BMS)® strives to
achieve a minimum 4:1 ratio of prosocial to noncompliance behaviors and
responses. The 4:1 Behavior Management SystemBMS® can also interface with
existing case management systems, reducing duplication of data entry and
allowing for easy data sharing and reporting. 

When prosocial behaviors outweigh noncompliance behaviors, positive outcomes are
much more likely for people with justice involvement across all levels of
risk.
