Assignment:
Topic: Rehabilitation: What Works to Change Offenders
In this assignment you will apply the readings and presentations in the Reading & Study in a meaningful way to clarify your understanding of the correctional system.
The public seems to support early intervention and rehabilitation, but many people are still in prison or being sent away.
Why do you think rehabilitation and early intervention programs are not something that is more common in everyday correctional proceedings?
What are some barriers that prevent early intervention from being more widely used?
