Alternative offender rehabilitation and social justice : arts and physical engagement in criminal justice and community settings
\"Alternative Offender Rehabilitation and Social Justice addresses the contentious issue of how to improve rehabilitation in the criminal justice system. The contributors demonstrate that although there may be implementation challenges, alternative approaches to rehabilitation can succeed in developing pro-social attitudes and in improving mental, physical and spiritual health among youth and adult criminal offenders. A central theme throughout the book is the use of mindfulness as a foundational tool of self-reflexivity in both arts and physical engagement programming. Whether they include meditation, yoga, capoeira, drama, or creative writing, alternative rehabilitation programs give offenders an outlet for creative expression and therapy. The contributing authors explore the theoretical basis, mechanisms of implementation, benefits and drawbacks of a range of alternative rehabilitation modalities and challenge all to re-think social justice for offenders\"-- Provided by publisher.

The Function of Specialized Vocabulary Development in Psychosocial Rehabilitation in Traumatized Populations
This paper presents a model for the function of specialized vocabulary schemes in the development, implementation, and dissemination of trauma rehabilitation initiatives. With 65.3 million forcibly displaced people worldwide, of whom 21.3 million are recognized refugees (UNHCR
2016
), understanding trauma rehabilitation is timely. This paper takes an interest in the effects of interventions that leverage specialized vocabulary schemes to assist victims of conflict to overcome psychosocial trauma. Lessons are taken from three research studies conducted in conflict and post-conflict environments, which are discussed in the context of literature that demonstrates how vocabulary development is critical to psychosocial rehabilitation. From a review of these studies, a model of the function of specialized vocabulary schemes in the development, implementation, and dissemination of trauma rehabilitation initiatives is presented. Rehabilitation using one's own language is key to the restoration of human rights after ongoing psychological torture as it provides a means for categorizing experiences and developing understandings.
