CRJU 0318 - The Theory and Practice of Mandated Reporting


Credits: 3

This course outlines the specific responsibilities of mandated reporters; those who are required by law to report suspected abuse and/or neglect of children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities.  This course will review the theoretical explanations for these behaviors and the dynamics of their occurrences suggested by the research literature.  It also involves explanations of different wound categories that suggest abuse and/or neglect.  There will be guidance and practice in the development of an accurate and professional reporting format.

Prerequisites: Open to all students with junior or senior standing in the student’s major.
