There are many treatments that are used in a forensic setting for different types of offenders and victims. In forensic psychology, victims and offenders are involved in forensic therapy. Forensic therapy is used to assess, evaluate, intervene and treat individuals who have committed violent crimes or are involved with the legal system. Non-violent offenders and violent offenders receive rehabilitation services, but there are different outcomes in their treatment depending on their resistance to the treatment. Trauma victims also receive treatment that usually involves treatment of the trauma that they have experienced by an offender.Treatments and rehabilitation program focus on reducing recidivism rates.For some non-violent offenders, they did not receive rehabilitation treatment instead they would receive punishment. For drug offenses, they wouldn’t have adequate treatment which is why there was a high re-arrest rate for drug offenders (Slods & Atkin-Plunk, 2018). Now drug courts are focused more on rehabilitation for these offenders instead of being punishment oriented.

For these drug offenders, the drug courts have focused on treating them by getting them individualized plans that will help them to reduce their criminal behavior and to also reduce their substance use (Slods & Atkin-Plunk, 2018). The treatments not only focused on treating their addictions, but it also includes punishment if the offenders do not comply with their court-mandated treatments. The drug courts were able to see that offenders who are addicted to drugs and committed the crimes because they were using drugs, need proper treatment instead of punishment; it is much more helpful to the community that these offenders receive treatment.When the drug offenders are ready to change for themselves is when they are more likely to complete the rehabilitation program successfully. All drug court treatments are voluntary, which is better for the offenders especially since there are better treatment outcomes when the offenders choose to do the program. If the offenders were forced to obtain drug treatments, then there would be a small chance to change for them.“The Prevention of Recidivism program aims to reduce prisoner re offending by applying behavioral interventions that address prisoners’ risk of recidivism and take into account.
