The “Second Chance Act” RFP (see above) makes a point of stating that priority will be given to applications that “implement evidence-based activities”. While this language does not use the term “Evidence Based Practices”, it once again appears to push applicants in that direction. For that matter, only applicants that use validated “risk assessment” tools that are capable of identifying participants as “high risk” offenders will be elligible for funding (see Evidence Based Practices).
