There are four general principles of effective intervention that have become organizing concepts of community corrections.

They have stimulated what has become known as the "what works" movement.

Prepare a digital slide presentation outlining the four general principles of the "what works" movement.

For this assignment, you will prepare five digital slides that consider perspectives on the potential merits and limitations associated with each of the four general principles. It is important to develop the ability to frame an approach to content in a digital slide format.

A digital slide format provides an opportunity to succinctly summarize points and to organize your thoughts in a compelling and coherent manner.
