5575 Correctional Rehabilitation And Treatment (3)
This course will begin with a thorough examination of the rise, fall, and
recent resurrection of "rehabilitation and treatment" in American Correctional
strategies. Both past and current treatment strategies will be studied
regarding their effectiveness in reducing recidivism. This will be done through
a survey of the quantitative literature base. There will be some emphasis on
treating special needs offenders (e.g., sex offenders, juvenile offenders,
offenders with developmental disabilities or mental illnesses.
