CEC Research and Academia
Initiated six years ago, CEC has recognized the intrinsic value of the university research community and the need for collaboration between academia and CEC to advance state-of-the art correctional assessment and treatment. Through ongoing dialogue with researchers in academia, CEC has gained important insights into improving its programs by independent analysis of its assessment and treatment processes. Researchers from the academic world have contributed significantly to the measured growth of CEC programs by assisting CEC in refining and strengthening its programs and research. University researchers have conducted outcome research that has provided valuable feedback to CEC about its program effectiveness in reducing recidivism. Collaborations with academia have included training and supervision of Masters and Doctoral students. The students have made significant contributions to research development because they share state-of-the-art information about correctional assessment and treatment. In turn, CEC has played an important role in providing a training ground for the interns from the affiliated universities. Interns at CEC gain valuable real life experience in correctional programmingCEC is currently affiliated with the following universities:
