Special Victims Topic
Assignment Details:
Many programs exist to help victims and offenders. Specifically, to make reparation for negative actions. Missouri was one of two states chosen by the National Institute of Corrections to adopt the Transition from Prison to Community Initiative (TPCI). This initiative was developed to ensure emphasis is placed on providing services which promote the success of offenders released from incarceration. It also assists with services within the communities to help repair relationships. Implementation of this program is being completed now at various stages of development across the United States.
