The most influential factors in behavior modification programs are the certainty and swiftness of incentives and sanctions delivered. SCRAM Nexus is the first-ever decision support software that compiles a client’s behavioral data and automatically recommends the proper magnitude of evidence-based responses so supervision officers can assign incentives and sanctions swiftly and reliably.

Community corrections officers often have caseloads of anywhere from 50 to several hundred clients at a time. With caseloads of that size, individually managing clients and tracking their progress can seem insurmountable. But new technology has emerged that can automate and streamline the case management process, allowing officers to spend time on the important tasks.

Not every program or intervention works for every client. In fact, providing the wrong kind of treatment services can fail to improve client and program outcomes. SCRAM Nexus® integrates risk, need, and responsivity principles into your department’s existing models and automates client program placement based on their criminal history, allowing officers to easily assign clients to the most appropriate supervision models.

Behavioral research has uncovered that by integrating evidence-based practices into pretrial, probation, and parole programs, your community can enhance client outcomes and improve community safety. SCRAM Nexus® is a revolutionary software platform that applies evidence-based practices into the day-to-day decision making of corrections officers, allowing for better allocation of their time and resources and efficient supervision management.
