Refining the definition of Offence Paralleling Behaviour

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: The article presents a risk assessment model about Offence Paralleling Behavior (OPB) by Lawrence Jones. Jones identifies OPB as a developmental sequence of behavior akin to the notion of an offence chain which is understood in terms of function not morphology. In addition, he also advocated the OPB framework as a strategy for identifying intervention opportunities, monitoring treatment progress and supplementing risk-related decision-making in custodial settings. Meanwhile, OPB framework can be used to structure clinical judgements of risk, with a it more effectively.
