This blog is going to be my diary for my EPQ. I'm doing the title 'Can someone ever be fully rehabilitated back into society?' and focussing on rehabilitation methods in prisons.

Today I decided how I am going to complete my diary and plan and then finished my aims and objectives.
My aims are:

• Are there different rehabilitation processes for different age groups of offenders?
• How do methods used in the UK compare to methods used in America?
• What are the success rates of different processes?
• How have rehabilitation processes changed in the last 10 years?

My objectives are:

• To find out the public perception of rehabilitation by doing a questionnaire
• To analyse statistics from the last 10 years
• To research methods used for young offenders and compare then to ones used for adults
• To research methods used in America and compare them with methods used in the UK
• To analyse case studies

I have also filled in my Individual Profile:

 

 



 

This outlines my strengths, weaknesses and what I am interested in.

 

I also completed an Initial Ideas sheet which shows my first aims, objectives, title and how I am going to conduct my research:

 

Next week I will have decided on a way of presenting my plan and when I am going to complete my research by.
