Abstract
This work assists the instructor working in the National Education Training Program to select appropriate teaching aids such as cassettes and films. In addition to the video cassettes, additional tools which should be considered include field trips to courts and institutions, readings, and texts. Subject titles of the 45 available cassettes which are described in this booklet include a history of prisons, management and funding, the community presentence program, presentence investigations, minorities and criminal justice, student volunteers, and the role of the volunteer coordinator. All cassettes are designed to be shown in 30-minute segments. For the rest of the series, see NCJ 83347-56 and 62914.
