In this paper, we will examine evidence-based practice (EBP) as a primary example of translating science into practice, and as the predominant model of clinical practice within psychology. We argue that despite the merits of EBP and its value for clinical psychology, key conceptual issues arise from the inquiry component of the EBP model. Second, we examine efforts to incorporate scientific models of psychological practice into the correctional domain, and argue that the RNR has assumed an impoverished, and therefore, problematic version of an evidence-based model of correctional psychological practice. We describe three key areas of EBP in which adhering to RNR-based model of practice is particularly detrimental: flexibility, therapeutic alliance, and psychological expertise. To further our critique of attempts to translate science to practice in corrections, we revisit the conceptual issues of the EBP inquiry process and discuss how these manifest within correctional psychology. Finally, we outline a revised formulation of the EBP inquiry process and discuss how this model can overcome current issues in the translation of science to practice in correctional psychology. In our view, the revised EBP model provides a more coherent and comprehensive model than the current approaches.

在本文中，我们将研究循证实践 (EBP) 作为将科学转化为实践的主要例子，以及心理学中临床实践的主要模型。我们认为，尽管 EBP 有其优点及其对临床心理学的价值，但 EBP 模型的查询部分出现了关键的概念问题。其次，我们研究了将心理实践的科学模型纳入矫正领域的努力，并认为 RNR 假设了一个贫困的、因此有问题的矫正心理实践的循证模型版本。我们描述了 EBP 的三个关键领域，其中坚持基于 RNR 的实践模型特别有害：灵活性、治疗联盟和心理专业知识。为了进一步批评将科学转化为矫正实践的尝试，我们重新审视了 EBP 探究过程的概念问题，并讨论了这些问题在矫正心理学中的表现。最后，我们概述了 EBP 探究过程的修订版，并讨论了该模型如何克服当前将科学转化为矫正心理学实践的问题。在我们看来，修订后的 EBP 模型提供了一个比当前方法更加连贯和全面的模型。
