CJ312: Offender Reintegration in Society

This course is designed to present students with an examination of issues related to the rehabilitation and reintegration of criminal offenders in community settings. Subjects include sentencing, probation, parole, fines, community service, and intermediate sanctions (intensive supervision, house arrest/electronic monitoring, boot camps). We focus on topics such as the punishment vs. control argument, community justice models, special offender populations (drug offenders, sex offenders, mentally ill offenders, offenders with AIDS), and the cost effectiveness of community corrections. Prerequisite: CJ221 or permission of the instructor.
