When it comes to changing the mindsets and behaviors of people involved in the criminal justice system, we know that a cookie-cutter approach doesn’t work. That’s why we’re using evidence-based practices and validated tools that have been proven to reduce crime in other states.
The offender rulebook for the Division of Adult Institutions and an updated Missouri Offender Management Matrix (MOMM) are designed provide a system of incentives and sanctions to reinforce positive behaviors while holding offenders and clients accountable for negative behaviors. Sanction and incentive grids help determine which desired behaviors should be rewarded, which incentives are appropriate, and what role each staff member plays in the process. (Access the DAI Behavior Incentive Guide grid or the P&P MOMM grid.)
The Missouri Offender Management Matrix ties desired and undesired behaviors to the criminogenic domains of the Ohio Risk Assessment System and provides a selection of appropriate responses to behavior based on the overall risk level for offenders under probation or parole supervision.
