| Abstract: | This book, featuring a trainer manual and facilitator resources, provides correctional agencies with a comprehensive approach to enhancing criminal thinking interventions. By equipping frontline staff with practical tools, it empowers them to actively reduce disruptive behavior in ways aligned with evidence-based rehabilitation models. The manual underscores the critical role correctional officers and unit staff play in influencing behavior, emphasizing how their daily interactions with incarcerated individuals are essential for fostering change.The first section prepares training facilitators by discussing the importance of addressing criminal thinking through a therapeutic, rather than punitive, approach. It outlines the structure of the training, provides guidance on managing sessions and participant engagement, and offers recommendations for evaluating training effectiveness.At the core of the book is a structured training curriculum that delivers practical strategies for addressing criminal thinking in correctional settings. Detailed slide-by-slide annotations support facilitators in delivering each module. The curriculum offers clear instructions on recognizing and managing cognitive distortions contributing to criminal behavior, equipping staff with intervention tools. It also addresses challenges in working with diverse populations, providing strategies for tailoring interventions to different groups.The final section focuses on applying learned principles through hands-on exercises, case studies, and role-playing scenarios, ensuring staff can implement strategies in real-world situations. The manual provides a structured yet adaptable framework, allowing senior correctional officers and administrators to effectively train their teams.With supplemental resources, including worksheets and scripts, this book serves as a practical, evidence-based guide to reducing criminal thinking, improving institutional safety, and enhancing rehabilitation outcomes within correctional facilities. |
