Course Summary: Most drug workers are engaging with clients who are committing crimes to accumulate the finances to support their drug use. The criminal justice system can seem a complicated and unfamiliar area for workers attempting to support clients who are regularly involved with it. This course aims to demystify the CJS, enabling professionals to work more effectively with clients who are serving community orders or who are imprisoned (either on remand or convicted/sentenced). The course will explore the range of sentencing options available through the courts, specific orders for drug-using clients, prison-based support services and treatment options as well as community-based initiatives being delivered by the police which have relevance to service users who are repeat offenders. Learning Objectives: revolving door client in the CJS Drug using offenders in the CJS Community sentencing options To explore Criminal Justice Intervention Programme (CJIP) To understand Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBO) To explore coercive treatment and police initiatives To increase understanding of the prison system How to maximise effectiveness whilst working with this client group
