How will you use what you learned about the correctional system to effect positive social

change as a private citizen and/or in your current or future role as a criminal justice

practitioner? Be specific.

How I might use what I have learned about the correctional system to effect positive

social change in my future possible role as criminal justice practitioner “Probation officer” to be

exact. The role of the probation officer could prove vital when it comes to recidivism, not only

do the officer monitors the offender they work with the offender as well in the hopes of

preventing them from committing any new crimes. The way that I really feel that you could

really serve the probationer and help them out the most is to build relationships with other

agencies and build a resource for them. When I worked as a case worker for the Salvation Army

and during my time I was able to ask questions from many people one of the questions was is why

you did what you did and the answer to me was because they did not have anything else to do.

I did learn a great deal of valuable information about corrections in this class although

criminal justice is not my major. I am pursuing a Human Services degree with the plans of

continuing through with my master’s in counseling
