The purpose of this assignment is to analyze the responses to special needs offenders. A discussion of the history and evolution of the correctional system responses to special needs offenders must be provided. Special attention should be paid to specific events that led to changing policies and the impact on the correctional system (example; deinstitutionalization in the 1970s led to the over-incarceration of mentally ill offenders with comorbidity problems).
Discussion of the History and Context
At least three paragraphs of the history of correctional responses to special needs offenders, in conjunction with major social, political, or global events. You may focus on one special needs area.
Discussion of the External Forces on Policy and Ideology
At least one paragraph on political forces that shaped ideology and policy. Uses specific legislation to illustrate changes in policy with a direct correlation between policy and ideology. For example, the Martinson report's reinterpretation as a "Nothing Works" doctrine by politicians led to an abandonment of reform policies in favor of "Get Tough" sentencing guidelines.
At least one paragraph on social forces that shaped ideology and ultimately policy. Discusses public opinion polls and studies that drove politicians to respond in a specific manner through policy. For example, the Florida State University "Fear of Crime" study and its relationship to mandatory direct file policies for juvenile offenders as "superpredators".
At least one paragraph on the impact of the policy change to the correctional system as a whole, and how the correctional system has responded.
Summary and Recommendations
