The subject begins with an analysis of offending behaviour and criminality through the lens of different theoretical perspectives. The subject will then examine the way in which offenders are assessed for risk and the role criminal justice agencies play in examining risk. The subject will build on this knowledge by considering the range of interventions and treatment programs available to offenders in addressing their behaviour. The subject will conclude by examining the range of criminal justice agencies that play a role in working with offenders, with a particular focus on how this work is done within the community.
