Describe the purpose of evidence-based practices (EBP).

What will be an ideal response?


Evidence-based practice (EBP) implies that (1) one outcome is desired over others, (2) the outcome is measurable, and (3) the outcome is defined according to practical realities (e.g., public safety) rather than immeasurable moral or value-oriented standards. Thus, EBP is appropriate for scientific exploration within any human service discipline, including the discipline of corrections.
