575 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.
