Research the evidence-based approach for assessment risk, need, and responsivity (RNR) model.
Create a 12 to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes in each slide that includes the following:
·       A case study for this juvenile inmate or offender who has a mental illness that contains the following:

Provide a profile of the juvenile, including his or her mental illness and offense committed.
Specify the risk principle, need principle, and responsivity principle for this juvenile related to his or her mental illness.
