CRJU 624 - Successful Reentry: Theory and Practice

(3 units)

Prerequisite(s): CRJU 501 and CRJU 504, or consent of instructor.
This course gives students theoretical and practical tools to assist themselves or others in the reentry process. Students explore criminal desistance and reentry theories, both past and present, learn the fundamentals of each theory, and learn how to apply those theories when analyzing and implementing reentry services. Drawing on that knowledge, the class creates a “rehabilitation packet” either for themselves or for system-impacted citizens currently engaging in the reentry process. The rehabilitation packet is essential for the reentering citizen and ensures they have the tools needed for school admission, job placement, and later court filings (e.g., certificates of rehabilitation, expungements, and pardons).
