On the Scientific Development of Community Correction Social Work

Community correction is an important field of social work. In recent years, the rise of evidence-based correction in China not only provides a new opportunity to enhance the professional legitimacy of social work and move towards social identity, but also builds a new bridge between social work theory and practice, marking the scientific development orientation of community correction social work. The following is my analysis of the scientific development of community correction social work for you. Welcome to read and browse.

? Evidence-based scientific practice

Evidence-based practice is also called. Evidence-based practice? , refers to the practitioner according to the best evidence provided by researchers, under the planning and coordination of managers, refer to relevant practice guides, standards or manuals, and consider the specific characteristics of the practice object. The upsurge of evidence-based practice rose in the 1990s, and it took the lead in making evidence-based medicine a rapid success. Doctors' decisions on diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of patients are all based on the combination of the best clinical research evidence, clinical professional knowledge and skills and patients' needs. Evidence-based correction is the application of evidence-based practice in the field of criminal correction, which refers to the general term for correction social workers to find and implement correction activities according to the characteristics and specific problems of criminals and the best evidence available and the characteristics and wishes of criminals. It can be said that this is a methodological revolution of rectification work triggered by the strong infiltration of scientism and positivism, and it has also become a new trend of rectification work generally recognized by western developed countries.

The concept and method of evidence-based correction are different from traditional correction in the following aspects: First, it emphasizes the effectiveness of practice. In the 1990s, the Sherman research group in the United States found through scientific evaluation that only some of the more than 500 crime prevention projects in the United States were effective. The academic circles began to realize that under the guidance of strict scientific norms, taking effective correction items and intervention measures is the premise to improve the correction effect and maximize the benefit of correction resources. The second is to emphasize the optimality of evidence. Different from the traditional correction work that follows general evidence such as personal knowledge, experience and expert authority, evidence-based correction emphasizes following the best evidence that has been screened from a large number of studies and is fully scientifically verified and most suitable for solving specific problems. The third is to emphasize the combination of research and practice. Different from the separation of traditional correction research and correction practice, evidence-based correction requires researchers to be as close to reality as possible, base themselves on reality, and study and present evidence from the perspective of practitioners; Practitioners should use theory and reflective theory to practice and test evidence from the perspective of researchers. In the process of producing and using evidence, they interact and transform each other, realizing the organic integration and mutual promotion of research and practice.

? Professional legitimacy? New opportunities for promotion

If the China of social work is regarded as a process of social construction: from the advocacy of a few people to the wide recognition of the government and the public, social work will gain practical resources and strength in the continuous improvement of professional legitimacy, expand the depth and breadth of practical space, and thus realize the rapid development of its own specialization and institutionalization. Then, in the new era, the key for China social work to enhance its professional legitimacy and gain its due professional status and discourse power lies in fully demonstrating its professional effectiveness and social value to the government and society. As Professor He from School of Social and Public Piping, East China University of Science and Technology put forward, evidence-based practice is a possible strategy to promote the development of social work in China and gain social recognition. And the rise of local evidence-based correction is providing such a way to promote social work? Social recognition? A favorable opportunity.

First of all, evidence-based correction pays attention to effective practice, which provides space for social work to intervene in community correction and shows professional effectiveness and social value. The effectiveness of this practice can be divided into effective results and effective processes. The validity of the result can be theoretically defined as? Promote the return of community prisoners to society? At the operational level, the performance is to reduce the recidivism rate. Social workers are good at integrating social resources and using scientific methods to help others help themselves, which can effectively help prisoners correct their psychological structure and behavior patterns, restore and enhance social functions, and integrate and adapt to social life. Process effectiveness mainly refers to the openness and transparency of decision-making and implementation process, which can effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests and reasonable demands of prisoners, improve the quality of corrective services, and highlight fairness and justice. Social work is based on fairness and justice, which promotes the empowerment of the case owner and is highly consistent with the institutional goal of community correction. 200 1 I FSW (International Federation of Social Workers) and I AS SW (International Federation of Social Work Schools) pointed out in their definitions of social work that individual rights and social justice are the basic principles of social work, which is highly consistent with the value pursuit of evidence-based correction. Therefore, in the process of social work intervening in community correction, there is undoubtedly a huge space for displaying professional efficacy and social value, and the degree of display depends on the application of professional knowledge and scientific methods.

Secondly, evidence-based correction emphasizes the application of scientific knowledge and methods, which supports the development and popularization of positivism social work. ? Evidence-based practice? The rise of social work can be traced back to Mary, known as the founder of social work. Richmond's book "Social Diagnosis", she proposed? The service of social workers is a scientific process including evaluation, diagnosis and appraisal? This paper is called. Established a scientific foundation for this new major? . Its appearance gradually replaced it? Practice based on authoritarianism? To form the mainstream mode of social work practice, which consists of five closely linked links: first, social workers should construct the specific clinical problems of the case owner, including the causes, evaluation, possible treatment methods, expenses and preventive measures. ; The second is to find the best evidence to solve the problem; The third is to evaluate the validity and practicability of the evidence; Fourth, according to the evidence evaluation and the expectation of the case owner, choose the best intervention method, evaluate the case owner system, establish the goal and personalized treatment plan, and supervise the progress towards the goal; The fifth is to identify the intervention results. Therefore, carry out scientific research, find the best evidence, match scientific knowledge with the main problems of the case, and provide professional services accordingly, and become? Basic position of evidence-based social work practice.

Finally, evidence-based correction pays attention to the combination of research and practice, which makes it possible for social workers to play the main role and become the leading force. The complexity of the living environment and social network of community prisoners is often far more than that of ordinary people. The case management model that social workers focus on the main problems and needs of cases is conducive to extracting effective and credible evidence and evaluating and testing it. Evidence-based correction also emphasizes the correlation and interaction between evidence production and evidence use, and requires the practice subject to be a practitioner with reflective initiative and a professional knowledge system such as pedagogy, psychology and sociology. It is the unique academic background and professional concept of social workers that determines their unique role in the integration of research and practice. Therefore, it can be said that social workers are not only the main force to go deep into real production and test evidence, but also an effective intermediary to communicate research and practice and realize interaction.

A new bridge between theory and practice

In the current development of social work in China, social workers are ubiquitous? Anti-theory? Positions and tendencies lead to the loss of a lot of valuable empirical experience, which is difficult to be used for theoretical refining and upgrading. One of the main reasons is the lack of means to refine experience and the bridge between theory and practice. Looking back on the development of international social work, although the theoretical doubts about positivism social work have never subsided, we must never stop or slow down the pursuit of scientific development. At present, we are in a decision-making stage that is increasingly based on data rather than experience? The era of big data? Scientific and professional social work is the general trend. Therefore, it is necessary to form an information base and knowledge base as soon as possible, which is conducive to the processing and sharing of massive empirical samples nationwide, so that the academic or practical circles can summarize and refine the general theory with universality and make the revised object from? No license to follow? what's up Debris case owner? Towards positivism? Type the case owner? Or? Standardization case leader? . This is not only a necessary measure to scientifically refine local reality and form local theory, but also a necessary measure in? What is the globalization of social work? Only in this way can we actively participate in the construction of universal theory. In this sense, the rise of scientific and rational evidence-based practice is not necessarily the opposite of empirical practice in pursuit of humanistic care.

In a word, it is very necessary to accurately predict the future and put it into practice in such a situation that opportunities and challenges coexist in the development of social work in China. As far as the development of social work specialty is concerned, only by persisting in advocating and constantly practicing the evidence-based concept and updating and reconstructing its own knowledge system can it play a main role and become a leading force in the historical process of social work development in China. But what needs to be vigilant is that you should not become a rational technical expert who relies too much on evidence and superstitious evidence, but become? Reflective practitioners? Combine scientific means with personal experience and specific problems, and constantly test and reflect on evidence in practice. Scientificality and professionalism are the fundamental driving forces for social work to gain recognition from the government and society and develop for a long time. It is believed that with the continuous expansion of social work in various fields such as community correction and the further development of professional advantages, the effectiveness of social work in China's modern social service and social governance will become increasingly prominent, and the overall professional status will be further established and enhanced.
