CJ 240 Rehabilitative Practices and Policies

This course examines the formal interventions intended to change the behavior of those convicted of crimes. In the past 30 years, the American criminal justice system has deemphasized rehabilitation in favor of more expressive punishments aimed at retribution rather than rehabilitation. This course examines what rehabilitative practices work and the philosophy underlying rehabilitation as a goal of punishment.
