CEC Research Article Accepted for Publication in Corrections Today
Roseland, NJ, Jan 10, 2007 - The article "Academic Psychology and Corrections: The Utility of Partnerships" was co-authored by CEC affiliate Dr. Kirk Heilburn and was recently accepted for publication in Corrections Today, a publication of the American Correctional Association. The article will appear in the February edition and details the mutual benefits to partnerships between correctional professionals/agencies and research psychology.
This article discusses a process by which academic, research-oriented psychologists can seek out (or be sought by) correctional professionals and agencies to establish partnerships that will enhance the quality of services delivered in a correctional setting. The focus will be on the mutual benefits to the partnerships between correctional professionals/agencies, and research psychology.
At the moment, CEC operates one of the most highly respected and productive research programs in the correctional treatment industry. In 1999, Community Education Centers (CEC) created a Research Department with the intent of gathering and analyzing data from its programs. Since that time, the CEC Research Department has developed into a unique unit within the larger organization. CEC recognizes that to develop and foster effective treatment programs, it is necessary to support long-term outcome research.
