Assignment:
There is an ongoing debate between those who feel that the purpose of the correctional system should be to rehabilitate offenders and those who believe that the system should focus on punishment. On the basis of this debate, correctional professionals have proposed two correction models—the rehabilitation (or treatment) model and the crime control (or punishment) model.
Write in a minimum of 250 words and answer the following:
- With the current cost of corrections in the U.S. do you believe that incapacitation or rehabilitation is the correct path to take to solve the problem?
- Use both the textbook and reputable outside resources from the Internet and Argosy University online library resources to locate the laws, statutes, and cases.
