The purpose of the course in an epistemological inquiry into the notion of treatment for crime.
The course seeks to draw distinctions between the various forms of action possible : prevention, assistance or therapy. Lastly, it tries to compare the relevant features and consequences of repression versus therapy.
The course also deals with the various modes or levels of treatment (individual, collective, institutionnal, as well as based on age).
Lastly, the course focuses attention on the impact of the situation or context in which treatment takes place as determining the therapeutic possibilities. In other words, it examines the effects of treatment offered in prison, on parole or probation, by mental health organizations, under mandatory help schemes etc.
