Popis: Criminal justice agencies are increasingly using cognitive restructuring groups in correctional programs because current research suggests they are effective in reducing violent recidivism. However, social group workers are not at the forefront of this important work. This paper discusses a unique collaboration between an urban probation department and a school of social work to develop cognitive restructuring groups for offenders. It illustrates an important opportunity for social group workers to reach people at-risk for committing violent crime in urban communities.
