The Good Lives Model
Programmes

There are a large number of programmes that have been developed and implemented based on the GLM framework.  These programmes provide rehabilitative services to a wide range of forensic populations, including:


Adult male sexual offenders

Adult female sexual offenders

Young people who sexually abuse

Violent offenders

Young offenders

Substance dependent offenders

Mentally disordered offenders

Intellectually disabled offenders

Indigenous offenders

Arsonists/Firesetters

Psychopathic offenders

Domestic Violence offenders



It is almost impossible for us to know exactly how many programmes worldwide are using the GLM and as such we cannot provide an exhaustive list.  This is emphasised by a recent report by McGrath, Cumming, Burchard, Zeoli & Ellerby (2010) who found that a significant number of Canadian sex offender treatment programmes identified the GLM as one of their preferred theoretical frameworks.   Within the next five years, as more GLM programme evaluations are finalised, we hope to provide at least a list of those GLM programmes that have been meaningfully measured and tested for theoretical adherence and rehabilitative outcomes.
