Oppfølging av ROP-brukere før, under og etter at de har sonet en dom i fengsel

Abstract

In this chapter, we take a closer look at the follow-up of convicted offenders with dual diagnoses during and after imprisonment. Helping convicted offenders to lead a crime-free life after release is an important goal within the criminal justice system. Reaching this goal depends on cooperation between the justice system and municipalities during the offender’s imprisonment. Today there are different strategies for reaching this goal, and measures within the criminal justice system appear to be divided. One possible obstacle to effective collaboration is the lack of interprofessional education between healthcare and social services personnel, and those working in the criminal justice system. This is particularly interesting because one of the goals of the ROPIT project is to outline a common interprofessional training program for all relevant bachelor-level educational programs. A possible solution, therefore, is to ensure that prison service educational programs adopt a common interprofessional training program.
