CRJU 5250 - Criminal Offenders

Institution:

University of Colorado Denver

Subject:

Criminal Justice

Description:

Crime can have a devastating effect on the lives of victims, families and communities with extraordinary costs to society as a whole. Documented evidence suggests that community safety is best achieved though promoting rehabilitation of offenders rather than relying solely on prisons and containment. This course introduces the core principles and tools of motivational interviewing as it is used currently with the offender population. Students learn how to utilize these skills working with specific offender populations and how to motivate these often resistive clients to change their thinking patterns and behaviors.
