Applying TTM to Robbery: A Case Study on Offender Behavior Change

This case study examines the application of the Trans-Theoretical Model of Intentional Behavior Change (TTM) to a robbery case (CRN: D7175355). The case involves an offender serving a 42-month custody sentence for multiple robbery offenses. The study outlines the TTM model, justifying its selection based on the probation officer's experience and the offender's circumstances, including a lack of education, poor decision-making skills, and mental health issues. The TTM model's stages (precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and termination) are discussed in relation to the offender's progress. The outcomes of applying the theory, including successes and challenges, are analyzed, and the probation officer reflects on how the case has informed their practice, emphasizing the importance of motivation and skills such as problem-solving and decision-making in facilitating behavior change. The study concludes that adopting specific models like TTM is crucial for modifying individual behavior, referencing relevant research on the model's effectiveness.

Introduction
This presentation is based on a case study and this case is
referred as CRN: D7175355 This case is determine the robbery
and also assaults to the intention to rob. On the basis of the
allegation CRN : D7175355 was contained 42 months custody
because of the robbery cases like robbed mobile phone of £700
cost and then robbed victim bag and also robbed another mobile
phone. Victim called the police and dialed 999 numbers to arrest
the robber for the offence of the robbery case.

Outline of chosen model
 Trans-Theoretical Model of Intentional Behavior Change
(TTM)

Trans-Theoretical Model of Intentional
Behavior Change (TTM)
 This model mainly proposed by the Prochaska and DiClensnte
in the year 1983, this is considered as the integrative and
biopsychosocial model which can useful to conceptualize the
entire process related with intentional behavior of change.
TTM model mainly integrated with key constructs from the
theories like comprehensive theory related with change which
can be implemented on variety of the behaviors, settings and
also population.

Trans-Theoretical Model of Intentional
Behavior Change (TTM)
 precontemplation - This is considered as the first step of this
model which depicts that people are not show their concern to
take appropriate actions about the change. In this stage,
multiple and unsuccessful attempts of change situation can
lead which demoralize the ability of change.

Trans-Theoretical Model of Intentional
Behavior Change (TTM)
 Contemplation - After the precontemplation stage, people
become aware about the need of behavior change. In this stage,
people are intended about the change in context of next 6 months.
People become aware about the benefits of changing and also
acutely aware about the drawbacks. It is determined that the
weighting between the specific cost and also advantages of
changing can effectively profound the ambivalence that is
considered as the specific cause because people remain in this
phase for longer time period.

Trans-Theoretical Model of Intentional
Behavior Change (TTM)
 Preparation - In this stage, people are become ready to take
immediate actions to accept the change for better future which
can be measured as next month. It is analysed that individuals
have already perform the few appropriate actions in the past
year.

Trans-Theoretical Model of Intentional
Behavior Change (TTM)
 action - As per this stage , individuals have made
appropriate modifications in their living standard with in past
6 months . With the help of their action, people can effectively
observe their process of behavior change.

Trans-Theoretical Model of Intentional
Behavior Change (TTM)
 Maintenance - This stays totally dedicated on the
modifications in the lifestyle and also demonstrate the
effective working to prevent the relapse. It is determined that
individuals do not follow change process as frequently as
individuals in the actions. In this stage, individuals are less
tempted about the relapse & develop increasingly I level of
confident which can help full to continue their changes.

Trans-Theoretical Model of Intentional
Behavior Change (TTM)
 Termination - This is considered as the last stage in which
individuals become failure to intend the behavioral change

Justify why you chose that particular model for this
particular case
 The main reason to choose this model is that as a probation
officer, I have experience about such as robbery cases and in
all the cases I have analysed that there is something reason or
circumstances which lead this kind of robbery like lack of
knowledge, lack of money , lack of proper education and
many other. Every person have contain different prospective
and the motive behind the robbery is change as per the person
or situation.
