The Relationship of Correctional to Vocational Rehabilitation

Abstract

Correction has a history of inclusion of many academic dis ciplines, many points of view in its application of tasks, and many functions which frequently have been approached from narrow perspectives. A great need has developed to establish joint action among the interest groups. This paper suggests a tentative formulation for a cooperative approach to correctional rehabili tation through the vocational rehabilitation model. The current emphasis on the employment and job training of the offender allows modern means of treatment to be based on such a model. A close association between correctional and vocational rehabili tation programs is proposed.
