The risk-need-responsivity (RNR) model: Does adding the good lives model contribute to effective crime prevention?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors respond to GLM's criticisms of RNR and conclude that little substance is added by GLM that is not already included in RNR, although proponents of GLM may learn from the popular appeal that GLM, with its positive, strength-based focus, has garnered from clinicians over the past decade.

TL;DR: The general personality and social psychology underlying the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) model of rehabilitation recognizes the importance of the personal, interpersonal, and relatively automatic sources of control over human behaviour as well as the power of cognitive-social-learning approaches to interpersonal influence in many social settings as mentioned in this paper.

An appraisal of the risk–need–responsivity (RNR) model of offender rehabilitation and its application in correctional treatment
TL;DR: The authors evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of the RNR model as a Level I rehabilitation framework and concluded that unrealistic expectations and mistranslations of the model into practice are contributing to concerns about its validity and utility, and stifling needed innovation in the development both of mid-level treatment resources, and of RNR-adherent interventions.
