The issue remains widely debatable, with some insisting the behavior in the jails need to be reevaluated yet some insist on the societal emphasis in curbing recidivism.
The prison systems have also failed in reduction of recidivism through a failure to insist and implementation of programs that equip the inmates with the relevant and appropriate skills in lie with their interest and the environment from where they are. The offenders who have professions of technical skills that allow them to make a living within the society in a comfortable manner are also highly likely to succeed on their probation than those without any professional training or technical skills to earn a living from. It is also note that those offenders who went through high school successfully and finished are more likely to succeed in the probation and avid recidivism even after the probation period. Once the convict is in the prison for a long sentence, there should be a well crafted program to ensure they come out of the place with skills that will enable them earn a decent living out of the prison and not fall into the temptation of getting into crime for survival. Programs like Post Secondary Correctional Education are seen and have been proven to be highly effective in...
et.al (2009). Jeffrey also further points at the General Education Development that should ensure no prison left behind. Sadly this is not the case as these programs at the evaluation are seen to be grossly inadequate and/or leaving a lot of prisons uncovered.
In as much as the prison and the entire correction system should be geared towards ensuring a reformed and rehabilitated person, equipped with knowledge and skills that make them independent, the truth is that the goal is far from being achieved. Instead, several case of hardened criminals and hopeless ex-convicts is the case.

If integration with a conventional social group helps prevent suicide and "delinquency" (Hirschi 1969) and motivates people to fight, make sacrifices for a community, or commit deviant acts on behalf of a sub-cultural group, it should affect almost all forms of deviance. The absence of social integration with conventional groups should be influential in psychotic behavior (unless that specific behavior is organically determined and totally uncontrollable); without integration into
Mbiti and Tempels There have been many religious theories previously based on the part of the world it originates from and the people it represents. One of such theories is the Africano theory which is further represented by two different theories which represent the religious beliefs of the African people.

PaternalismIntroductionGoldman and Goldman (GG) state that �paternalism involves overriding a moral right of a person, often a liberty to act, for the person�s own good� (65). The problem with paternalism in a free society is that it creates conflict and tension between the right of the individual to act freely and the need for the society to restrict liberties in order to safeguard itself. This paper argues that while GG
The trainer will then focus on the steps to be taken to develop new skills. For example, if the trainer wants to talk about motivating, leading, negotiating, selling or speaking, it is best to start with what the learners do well before showing some chart on Maslow's theory, Posner's leadership practices, or selling skills from some standard package that has been develop elsewhere. Many foreign trainers make grave errors

There are many developmental theories that essentially deal with the psychology of human cognitive development. One of the better-known theories on Cognitive Development is, however, that which was developed by Piaget, known as the 'Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory'.
