CRJU 0339 - Probation, Parole, and Community Corrections
Credits: 3
This course will present an overview of correctional options in the community. It will challenge students to consider how sanctions for criminal offenders can be managed in the community without unduly sacrificing community safety or the integrity of the justice system. Community Corrections is a fluid and continually changing field. The focus will be on main themes and trends in probation and parole. Specific attention will be given to the dual and often conflicting goals of community protection and positive offender change with which the practitioner typically is confronted, the types of policies and programs implemented to meet these goals, and their effectiveness.
Prerequisites: CRJU 0101 and Junior standing.
