Case Management in Community Corrections
Hours: 2.75
Managing individuals on community supervision is not limited to assuring their compliance with court-ordered conditions. Enhancing long-term safety objectives also requires that community supervision officers help guide supervisees in efforts to change their behavior and reduce recidivism. After initial risk and needs assessment, community supervision officers should develop an individualized case plan that outlines objectives and actions that supervisees need to achieve to comply with conditions and behavioral-change goals. Once developed, the case plan serves as the basis for managing and monitoring a supervisee's risk and needs throughout the supervision period. This course focuses on the part of case management that occurs after the initial case plan is developed with an individual on supervision. Community supervision officers will learn tasks and strategies they can apply in the ongoing case management of individuals on their caseload to promote compliance and reductions in recidivism.
