VU21912 Case Study: Offender Management within Victorian Corrections

This case study examines the management of adult offenders within the Victorian correctional framework, focusing on a hypothetical case involving Mr. John Knoll. It addresses key aspects of prison management, including initial reception procedures, the importance of restorative justice, sentence planning, suicide prevention strategies, and adherence to the Commissioner's Requirements. The analysis extends to parole considerations, compliance with the Crime Sentence Administration Act 2005, and the significance of the Nelson Mandela Rules in ensuring humane treatment and care for prisoners. Effective communication and assertiveness strategies are also discussed in the context of duty of care responsibilities. The solution references various books and journals to support its arguments and recommendations.
