Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The authors state that mental illness should be considered a "treatment readiness issue" because individuals with mental illness may require specialized treatment to address their needs and reduce their risk of re-offending. While mental illness may impact an individual's responsivity and criminogenic needs, these factors are secondary to ensuring that the individual is able to fully engage in and benefit from treatment. Therefore, mental illness is not a non-criminogenic need.
