CSJS-52400 Correctional Counseling and Rehabilitation

In the examination of the foundations of rehabilitation treatment for correctional settings, this course will focus on the past, current, and the future development of clinical practices. This focus includes a close review of the clinical theories, approaches, and techniques of rehabilitation utilized in treating inmates and parolees. Since the outcomes of correctional rehabilitation on recidivism have critical public safety implications when offenders are released from the criminal justice system, this course will extensively examine the current research literature supporting evidence-based best practices. Implementation of rehabilitation treatment programs in the criminal justice system also requires a review of policy development, program development, design, planning and evaluation to determine what outcomes and costs benefits have been achieved.
