CJS 235 Community Corrections

This course will explore the correctional growth in institutional and community-based corrections. Two basic forms of programs within community corrections will be studied: sanctions that serve as alternatives to incarceration and programs that assist inmates in community reintegration after prison. Classification models of behavioral change will also be considered. This examination will illustrate the importance of community corrections to the overall understanding of correctional policy and social control. Spring
