Teaching methods
Lectures, discussions of current problems concerning prisoners, case reports from the prison environment, practical examples from practice.
Assessment methods
Students are required to complete a treatment program for the person in imprisonment due to their personality profile, length of conviction and other parameters based on the offender's diagnosis. Students will prepare the concept for the last lecture, where they will present this output in an oral presentation of approx. 5 minutes. It is necessary to attend courses, for understanding of the given issue, because the methodology of processing of treatment programs is not fundamentally processed in the actual publications.
