The Risk Factor Prevention Paradigm (RFPP) has become increasingly influential upon government responses to youth offending. This paper critically evaluates 'evidence-based' riskfocused research and prevention that coalesces around the RFPP. We highlight the significant issues that surround defining and measuring risk factors, difficulties in interpreting risk factor evidence, the 'psycho-reductionism' of much risk-focused research, implementation problems regarding early intervention and methodological debates around evaluating 'what works' in risk-focused crime prevention. A discussion of the promising, progressive nature of the RFPP is tempered by an evaluation of the practical and political concerns that impact upon the paradigm.
