Title A name given to the resource AN EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OFFENDER REHABILITATION POLICIES IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GRANISIA MASONA MUSANGO Description An account of the resource The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of offender rehabilitation policies in Zimbabwe prisons in light of the efforts by stakeholders to reform offenders. The primary objective of the study was to establish the extent to which the correctional services are curbing ex-convicts from committing crimes. The study was also aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of rehabilitation policies implemented in Zimbabwe towards addressing the problem of re-offending. Furthermore, the study sought to identify the reasons why released offenders continue to commit crimes despite their participation in various rehabilitation programmes during their period of incarceration. The methodology of the study was centred on the interpretivist philosophy as practised in qualitative research methods. The study participants included prisoners who were first time offenders, prisoners who were re- arrested, prison officers who supervise the rehabilitation programmes and NGOs responsible for various rehabilitation programme concerning prisoners. Data was primarily generated through face-to-face interviews, telephone interviews, focus group discussions and participant observation which were inevitable in this study by nature of being a qualitative research where the researcher is the prime instrument of data generation. Secondary data was sought from documents analysed from Harare Central, Chikurubi Farm and Chikurubi Female Prisons records and statistics offices and other stakeholders. The findings of the study revealed a host of challenges that stall effective policy implementation chief among them being the deplorable living conditions in the prisons. The negative attitude perspectives and stigma , among other things, were seen to be the reasons for offenders getting into a vicious circle of re- offending. The study recommended stakeholder cooperation in policy implementation, monitoring and evaluation among other things Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 Offender rehabilitation policy https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/aab967ff063e71f26af570083a72278f.pdf a765180d19ecd7ce42d6f7e30b8d340c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource TWENTY FIRST CENTURY AND REHABILITATION PROGRAMMES FOR INMATES IN ZIMBABWE PRISONS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource SAMANYANGA ITAI CHIGUNWE GILLIET Description An account of the resource The study was set to establish the extent to which Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services (ZPCS) provide rehabilitation and correctional services. World over, people are imprisoned after the courts have found them to be guilt of an offence. Incarcerating an offender is regarded as punishment enough. The Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services adopted the international standards that emphasise rehabilitation and empowerment of inmates with employment opportunity skills whilst serving. The study adopted the qualitative paradigm and descriptive survey method. Convenient sampling and snowballing were used to select prison officers whom were involved in the interviews. The findings revealed that ZPCS emphasises on the development and empowerment of offenders to lead a crime free life through equipping them with employment and vocational skills. It was revealed that ZPCS does not have standard rehabilitation and correctional service programmes. Career guidance and counselling is not much priority provision for inmates. There is need to include career guidance programme in the rehabilitation and correctional package so that inmates make informed decisions on choosing vocational and career programmes. ZPCS should also put in place some standard measures of rehabilitation and correctional services as well as quality assurance monitoring instruments in Zimbabwe‟s prison services.
