- Abstract
The Good Lives model, which has been advocated by New Zealand psychologist Tony Ward and his colleagues since the early 2000s, is a theoretical framework for the treatment and rehabilitation of offenders. The purpose of this paper is to describe and evaluate the Good Lives model through a literature review of related articles and to ascertain the implications for offender rehabilitation policy in Japan. Since its conception, the Good Lives model has incorporated the Risk- Need approach. Its theoretical challenge is to balance crime prevention (reduction of risk) and offender well-being (promotion of goods). Treatment, as conceptualized in the Good Lives model, is based on human dignity and rights, punishment and rehabilitation, and an ethics of intervention by ethical practitioners where the communicative theory of punishment is an important position that places emphasis on all stakeholders involved in criminal justice. Some critics assert that supportive evidence for the Good Lives model is weak, despite the accumulation of evaluation studies that have focused on its underpinning assumptions and practice. In conclusion, although the Good Lives model has some issues to be considered because of its eclectic character, it should be introduced in offender rehabilitation policy in Japan.
