CRJU 0354 - Evaluating Criminal Offenders

Credits: 3

An overview of techniques to understand and categorize criminal offenders so as to employ the appropriate criminal justice response. The course will examine how offenders are evaluated at critical junctures of the corrections system, including bail release decisions, eligibility for pretrial programs, sentencing, and classifications in prison, probation, and parole. Current methods used by the justice system, including the persistence investigation (PSI), sentencing guidelines, and structured risk and needs assessment will be reviewed. This course will also review the more clinical or psychodynamic assessment methods used with special offender populations (drugs/alcohol offenders, violent offenders, sex offenders).

Prerequisites: CRJU 0101 , CRJU 0202 , and Junior standing.
