Additionally, the treatment orientation and the substantive coverage of special needs offenders helps students understand the increasing need for community supervision officers to be well-versed in treatment based approaches and special offender typologies (i.e. sex offenders, mentally ill offenders, offenders with communicable diseases, drug offenders, and so forth).
