This course will focus on current issues in offender rehabilitation from both a Canadian and international perspective. You will have the opportunity to examine the theoretical literature about offender rehabilitation and the practical application of that literature as we explore “what works ”. Rehabilitation will be considered across a variety of areas that contribute to offender recidivism including interventions for people who have drug addictions and those who perpetrate property offences, sexual crimes and domestic violence. This course will also consider offender rehabilitation with men and women of different ages and ethnic/cultural background and relevant professional ethics issues.
