My name is Sandra Elizabeth. I am a paralegal looking into a further legal career. The purpose of my choosing this specific system within the Criminal System is to really understand and give personal and thought out input as to how one can help out those individuals (specifically men) in the system when it comes to rehabilitation. I believe the right rehabilitation will help deter future crime. One of the most important keys for rehabilitation is individuals who are well studied in the field and have a deep understanding of the causes behind the decisions that brought them to that place. Rich Furman explains that people who are "placed at risk by a variety of unmet needs, conditions etc", he further explains that what "unites these populations is the need for intervention to prevent future harm, pain or dysfunction".
What qualifies an individual to be the one helping rehabilitate or intervene one who is in need of help or intervention? How educated must one be? What are we doing now and what can we change in order to help those in need of help? This blog page will further into this key/important subsystem within the Criminal Justice System.
