coordinate research, formulate policy and provide training
Includes jail, prisons, and community corrections

Thinking For A Change Thinking For A Change (T4C)(T4C)
Cognitive-behavioral program developed by experts for NIC in the 1990’s
Addresses criminal behavior via three components:– Cognitive Restructuring– Problem Solving– Social Skills
Based on the “What Works” literature
![Page 20: What Are They Thinking? Addressing Risk Factors with Offenders](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/5681313f550346895d97b82e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
““What Works” BackgroundWhat Works” Background
Martinson, a criminologist, performed a meta-analysis of over 800 published corrections programs from the 1970’s.
Martinson concluded that “Nothing Works” – programs provided to offenders in the correctional system were not found to be effective in reducing criminal behavior or recidivism.
Ted Palmer, another criminologist, replicated Martinson’s study.
![Page 21: What Are They Thinking? Addressing Risk Factors with Offenders](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/5681313f550346895d97b82e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
““What Works” BackgroundWhat Works” Background
Palmer concluded that some interventions do work with specific populations when a targeted outcome was identified.
NIC created the “What Works” project based on the reanalysis.
