the assignmnet is: adress the issue of increasing numbers of women
being released from prison with substance abuseproblems and the state
govt has given a large non- govt.agency the finances to establish a
halfway house/residential rehabilitation facility in a suburb near
you. Ex-prisoners who were cinvicted of violent offenses will not be
considered for placement.Many members of the community vehemntly
oppose the introduction of the proposed facility and a campaign is
being mounted in the local media in support of this. Using a radical
case analysis (with paticular reference to Fook's Radical Casework
textbook, focus on the rights and needs of ex offenders with a
substance dependency and develope a framework that can be used to
support the establishment of the facility. This is related to
Australia.
