Illinois Statutes Chapter 730. Corrections § 190/5. Purpose and Definitions

(1) “Assets” are an offender's qualities or resources, such as family and other positive support systems, educational achievement, and employment history, that research has demonstrated will decrease the likelihood that the offender will re-offend and increase the likelihood that the offender will successfully reintegrate into the locality.

(2) “Case plan” means a consistently updated written proposal that shall follow the offender through all phases of the criminal justice system, that is based on the offender's risks, assets, and needs as identified through the assessment tool described in this Act, and that outlines steps the offender shall take and the programs in which the offender shall participate to maximize the offender's ability to be rehabilitated.

(3) “Conditions of supervision” include conditions described in Section 5-6-3.1 of the Unified Code of Corrections.

(4) “Evidence-based practices” means policies, procedures, programs, and practices that have been demonstrated to reduce recidivism among incarcerated individuals and individuals on local supervision.

(5) “Local supervision” includes supervision in local-based, non-incarceration settings under such conditions and reporting requirements as are imposed by the court or the Prisoner Review Board.

(6) “Needs” include an offender's criminogenic qualities, skills, and experiences that can be altered in ways that research has demonstrated will minimize the offender's chances of re-offending and maximize the offender's chances of successfully reintegrating into the locality.

(6.5) “Offender” means a person charged with or convicted of a probation-eligible offense.

(7) “Risks” include the attributes of an offender that are commonly considered to be those variables, such as age, prior criminal history, history of joblessness, and lack of education that research has demonstrated contribute to an offender's likelihood of re-offending and impact an offender's ability to successfully reintegrate into the locality.
