The CRIMINON Criminal Reform Programme

The CRIMINON Programme can be done by any offender in any setting, location or facility. And the regimen of the programme is broken down into courses which directly address each of those factors which lead to crime.

One factor that deserves attention is how much actual application remains an intrinsic element in these courses, and is the main reason why they all contain practical drills and exercises. These are what really bring home to the student just why the skills and knowledge taught are so immediately vital to him or her personally. That way, they can embrace such skills and knowledge as their own, and on their own.

To give a better idea of the subjects covered, here is a list of the courses offered by Criminon UK and a description of each.

• THE WAY TO HAPPINESS ^® Course
• Learning Skills for Life Course
• Communication Course
• Understanding & Overcoming Addiction Course
• Personal Integrity Course
• Handling Suppression Course
