S.C.O.R.E. Mission Statement
The mission of the SCORE Program and its personnel is:
- To equip offenders with cognitive tools and decision making strategies in order to combat errors in thinking.
- To facilitate positive behavior change through education, pro-social modeling and accountability.
- To deter criminal behavior through the administration of sanctions.
