Wisconsin Division of Community Corrections 2017 Year in Review

Respond to Misconduct with Swiftness, Certainty, and Proportionality
In FY2017, DCC has been using the principles of Evidence-based Response to Violations (EBRV) that brings objectivity, consistency, and scientific reliability to the process. EBRV takes in to account the risk of the offender and the severity of the violation behavior. Accountability responses and intervention services are applied based on the level of response determined. These swift, certain, and proportional actions are more effective in reducing recidivism than actions that are disproportionate, delayed, or inconsistent.
