Abstract
This article examines the extent to which the risk needs responsivity (RNR) model
and desistance principles have been integrated and operationalised in the development
of the Enablers of Change  assessment and sentence planning tool developed by a
Community   Rehabilitation Company provider in England. We consider the constructs
that underpin the tool, identifying points of departure and similarity between RNR
principles (Andrews and Bonta, 2007), the 'good lives' model (Ward  and Maruna,
2007) and desistance principles (McNeil and Weaver, 2010) and their integration. We
examine  how these constructs have been operationalised in the tool, which aims to
assess needs, strengths, protective factors and contribute to risk assessment. Given
the tool's innovation, this article is of international significance and will make an original
contribution to the evidence base on operationalising desistance in the management of
people with convictions in England and Wales and other jurisdictions.
