Corrections Specialist
Corrections Specialist Program
The US Criminal Justice system is a complex web of interconnected authorities, facilities, issues and concerns. One of the most important facets of criminal justice is the Corrections System that houses, monitors and reintegrates individuals – adults and juveniles – under supervision of the law. The criminal laws and penal system that determine corrections requirements, the various stresses on the largest corrections system in the world here in the US as well as the various issues, concerns and considerations for rehabilitating and reintegrating individuals back into society require a fundamental understanding of the entire system in order to successfully take on the roles and responsibilities of professionals working in the Corrections system.
Recognizing the need for skilled professionals that undertake a career in this difficult and complex field, My Ed Today offer a Corrections Specialist Program to take students through the ins and outs of the US Corrections system and the laws that govern it alongside the individual, political and societal issues that corrections professionals face every day. Students who complete this program will understand the fundamentals of the criminal justice system and dive deeper into the Corrections at both a theoretical and practical level. From there, students will be introduced to various law enforcement techniques as well as the probation and parole considerations that may arise. Finally, students will have the opportunity to explore the juvenile aspects of the legal and correctional systems all with an eye toward the ethical considerations that govern the entire field.
