Corrections: Systems and Practice

What it covers

This unit aims to provide students with an analytical overview of criminology and corrections. Students will gain a critical understanding of the breadth of the field of corrections and criminology as well as evaluate how theoretical models are used in the development of research and programming within corrections. This course will explore the high imprisonment rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons including the underlying factors that contribute to higher rates of offending and the structural bias or discriminatory practices within the justice system itself.
