Suggestions for Utilizing the 2008 Epas in CSWE-Accredited Baccalaureate and Masters Curriculums—Reflections from the Field, Part 1
In April 2008, the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) issued new guidelines for Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS).

Advanced Standing Revisited
A 2004 national survey of CSWE-accredited MSW programs addresses three major questions.

(2) What should be the educational continuum between undergraduate and graduate programs? (3) What is the current status and structure of advanced standing programs? The results of studies which examined the performance of advanced standing versus t…

Two of the major challenges for developing an accredited social work program are to sequence the tasks in developing an educational program and to develop accurate and useful assessment instruments. A model for sequencing the tasks is presented, and a field placement evaluation instrument is highlighted in assessing the extent to which students are attaining the program objectives. Programs need to utilize multiple measures of program outcomes

The history of the social work approach to juvenile delinquency is summarized, and current problems in using a treatment approach in the juvenile justice system are described. A treatment approach appears more successful in preventing recidivism than a punitive approach
How to Rehabilitate Criminal Offenders
It is asserted that all behavior is primarily derived from cognitions (thinking patterns). If this assertion is accurate, it follows that criminal behavior results from cognitions related to the planning, execution and justification by offenders of criminal activity. It also follows that the focus of rehabilitative efforts should be on changing the cognitions that led to criminal activity so that offenders develop cognitions that focus on the adv…
Problems and Prospects for Social Problem Texts
Self-Talk
A new theory on the causes of criminal behavior is presented in which the authors assert that the reasons for any criminal act can be determined by identifying what the offender was telling him/herself prior to and during the time when the crime was committed. This theory has direct rehabilitative implications as the authors assert that the only way to curb future criminal activity is to change the underlying self-talk of the offender
Police evaluative perceptions of themselves, the general public and selected occupational groups
