| dc.description.abstract | Having worked in corrections for many years, I have learned the value of trauma informed practice. Offenders are exposed to a system that is focused on security and public safety, conditions that can re-traumatize the offender. Little is known about the system's role in the traumatization of the offenders. What is known is that offenders in the correctional system experience higher trauma rates then the general population Recognizing the trauma behind the behaviour or crime of the offender might help to reduce traumatization and create a more productive healing process. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the offender's historic trauma and find new approaches focused more on the trauma and less on the behaviour or the crime. | |
