How the Criminal Justice System Deals with Different Populations Due to the increase in the population of prisoners coupled with the high frustration in trying to identify the successful treatment programs, the philosophies within correctional philosophies seem to have shifted towards law and order. Several factors determine the treatment model within the prison population or the alternative to prisons. Some of the factors include age,gender jurisdiction, individual circumstance, and even the mental health of the individual.However, one of the factors that determine the treatment of an individual is their violent tendencies. The field of forensic psychology has expanded and focused more on rehabilitation and recognizing the individual needs of the offenders. Several scholars offer insight into how the prison system deals with these issues.Violent Offenders The issue of violence remains one of the major issues for public health regarding the effects that it has on the victims, the quality of life of the offenders, and the burden that it has on the correctional facilities.

Gilbert Daffern & Anderson (2017) argues that there is a small group of persistently violent individual who is the cause of the disproportionate number of violent incidents. Violent offenders are the most dangerous offenders in the criminal justice system after having been arrested and convicted and imprisonment for crimes such as assault, rape, robbery,and homicides. These types of offenders are the most common in the national prison system since they constitute about 49% of the population (Gilbert Daffern & Anderson 2017). The treatment and implementation of any program to care for such offenders begin with a thorough analysis of the individual. The measure of an offender’s risk to recidivism is critical in this treatment because it one of the measures that show the success of any treatment (Novaco, 2020).

The last 20 years have seen research focus on the implementation and evaluation of treatment programs that are effective for dealing with violent offenders. The criminal justice system has focused more on cognitive-behavioral and social learning theory as the best interventions program for this group (Novaco, 2020). Although the approach of treatment is much similar to the model used in dealing with non-violent offenders the program typically encourages the growth of the offender insight into the functional role of the violent behavior and seeks to make them see the alternative behavioral strategies. Such strategies are geared towards helping the individual to deal with conflict in better ways.
