Suppose you have been contacted by the court to conduct a risk assessment of Joseph and Shawn Keen following their arrest for the second-degree murder of Victor. The purpose of the risk assessment is to determine the likelihood of each to re-offend and to identify the appropriate interventions that could be used in correctional and/or probationary settings to reduce recidivism. Suppose you are also asked how the escalation of criminal behavior demonstrated by Joseph and Shawn could have been prevented and, more generally, how well existing criminal justice policies and practices address the root causes of crime.

Submit a risk assessment and prevention report that includes Parts 1 and 2, detailed below. Use the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) Model, the Good Lives Model (GLM), theories of criminal behavior, and examples from the case study to guide and support your responses. In addition, support your responses with at least five scholarly sources.
