Discuss ways of dealing with offending
behaviour (16)
One suggestion of dealing with offending behaviour is to "talk about what makes him angry".
Anger management is a type of... - correct answer-CBT, which aims to reduce the emotional
response by thinking differently about the emotion
Novaco identified three key aims of anger management therapy. One way cognitive
restructuring, which involves... - correct answer-having greater control over the thoughts you
have surrounding anger.
Another focus is regulation of arousal, which involves... - correct answer-learning how to
control the physiological state
There are also behavioural strategies involved, such as... - correct answer-learning problem
solving skills

correct answer-amends for offending behaviour through reconciliation between offender and
victim, as well as the wider community
The victim and offender may meet, or exchange letters, in order for justice to be fully... -
correct answer-restored, and for the harm caused to try and be "repaired"
This technique often reduces... - correct answer-the likelihood of reoffending, so is a good
method of dealing with offending behaviour
There is evidence to support the effectiveness of... - correct answer-anger management
therapy as a way of dealing with offending behaviour.
For example, Taylor and Novaco reviewed 6 meta analyses and reported a... - correct
answer-75% improvement rate in social behaviour following anger management therapy
This matters because better behaviour in society means a lower chance of people... - correct
answer-reoffending and getting sent back to prison
However, there is evidence that contradicts this effectiveness. For example, Howells et al
cited... - correct answer-5 meta analyses which showed that anger management
programmes had only moderate effects.
This is important because it means that... - correct answer-anger management may not be
the most effective way of dealing with offending behaviour, and that alternate techniques are
likely to be more effective and should be considered.
