Abstract
In 2022, the intervention known as “learning sanction” was replaced with “offending behaviour programmes” in Flanders. This reform is part of a broader policy objective aimed at “increasing the accessibility of aid and services for non-detained offenders”. Through a policy analysis of the Flemish Government's approach and an international literature review, this article provides an overview of the presumed functioning of the offending behaviour programmes and assesses the extent to which these presumptions are scientifically substantiated. It specifically examines the underlying theory of change of the behavioral training by comparing it with theoretical insights on desistance.
