Book Description
This report provides an historical overview of the management and treatment of retarded offenders, definitions of defective delinquency, and survey of the institutionalized retarded offender. The authors surveyed approximately 200,000 inmates of penal institutions in December 1963. It was found that 9.5 percent of the inmates could be classified as mentally retarded. It was found that the most frequent crime committed by the retarded inmate was first-degree murder, accounting for slightly less than 21 percent of all the retardates. Other criminal homicides accounted for 17.6 percent of the sample, and breaking and entering accounted for an equal percentage. Other sections of the document deal with legal considerations affecting the retarded offender, current state planning for retarded offenders, and recommendations for action and research.

ISBN: 0761929347
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Counseling Criminal Justice Offenders, Second Edition takes a practical view of offenders, their problems, and the difficulties counselors face working with them in criminal justice settings. Author Ruth E. Masters examines criminal justice counseling on an individual and group basis and in a variety of settings such as prisons, probation and parole agencies, diversion programs, group homes, halfway houses, prerelease facilities, and U.S. jails. The book also explores the many faces of offenders — young, old, male, female, and across many cultures. The Second Edition of Counseling Criminal Justice Offenders recognizes that individuals who counsel offenders in the criminal justice system often have not had the extensive training of a licensed psychologist and this text is designed to provide readers with an understanding of the counseling process. The book explores practical knowledge of legal principles, appropriate and effective counselor attitudes, and the past and present protocols of American corrections. Primarily designed for criminal justice students taking correctional counseling courses, Counseling Criminal Justice Offenders, Second Edition is also a vital resource for any Criminal Justice, Social Work, Psychology, or Counseling practitioner interfacing with offenders.
