Abstract

IT CAN BE GENERALLY STATED THAT TRAINING MUST RESPOND TO THE TREND TOWARDS MORE OPEN PRISONS AND LESS DETENTIVE TREATMENT. THE TRAINING MUST PREPARE PERSONNEL TO OPERATE AND EVALUATE PROGRAMS NOT YET IN EXISTENCE, TO COLLABORATE WITH DIFFERENT STAFF CATEGORIES IN THE SAME PROGRAMS, AND TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE OF GENERAL FIELDS TO THE SPECIAL PROBLEMS OF OFFENDERS. THE PROPER SELECTION OF PERSONNEL AND TRAINING INSTRUCTORS IS ESSENTIAL. --IN ITALIAN
