Assignment
So far, you have learned about the general intersection between mental health and the justice system as well as the broad array of treatment and assessment needs in forensic settings. As you have read about these needs, you have also learned about theoretical frameworks utilized to shape treatment in these settings.

For this assignment, develop a table in which you evaluate the utility of the following theories in the forensic setting:

RNR theory

Strength-based treatment theory

Here is an example of how you may wish to set up your table:

Theory	Description	Applicability	Pros	Cons

Your table should include the following information:

• Discussion of the basic tenets of the theory and its applicability to the forensic setting
• Discuss pros and cons of each

Conclude with a one-page summary of the population you plan to investigate for your Signature Assignment, and then indicate which of these theories might assist you in better understanding that population’s needs. Juvenile Offenders is topic
