Though commonly used, recidivism can be an overly simplistic and misleading binary measure – essentially measuring failures… and is more reflective of system practices and procedures. Practices which often have more negative impacts on persons and communities of color. Focusing on POSITIVE OUTCOMES provides a more comprehensive picture of behavior change and wellbeing. For this reason, there are five (5) services highlighted on the Dashboard which are offered to AB 109 clients based on their needs – these areas speak more to behavior change and wellbeing.
