Ace the CDCR Challenge 2025 – Unlock Your Correctional Career!

The primary goal of evaluating Violence Prevention Programs is to ensure that effective violence reduction strategies are in place. This evaluation process is crucial because it helps identify the effectiveness of current programs in mitigating violent behavior among inmates. By examining the outcomes and processes of these programs, the CDCR can determine which strategies are successful in reducing incidents of violence and can then continue or expand those that work while modifying or discontinuing those that do not yield positive results.

Effective violence reduction is essential not just for the safety of the inmates and staff but also for the overall rehabilitation process. A program that successfully reduces violence can contribute to a more stable and secure environment, facilitating better rehabilitation outcomes and potentially lowering recidivism rates. Therefore, the focus of the evaluation is on the effectiveness of various strategies and interventions specifically aimed at violence prevention within correctional facilities.
