刑事司法教育的教学方法会影响到今后最有可能制定和执行刑事司法政策的人的态度和看法。本研究旨在探讨监狱参观对学生了解监狱及惩罚态度的影响。本科刑事司法专业的学生进行了一项调查，以评估他们对监狱，囚犯和替代制裁的态度之前和之后的实地考察南俄亥俄州惩教设施。调查后的答复显示，学生对惩罚、监狱、囚犯和改造的看法发生了变化。我们在接触假说的框架内讨论这一发现，并建议将这种类型的第一手接触作为刑事司法课程的一部分。
The pedagogical approaches of a criminal justice education affect the attitudes and perceptions of those most likely to develop and administer criminal justice policies in the future. This study examines the effect of a prison tour on students’ understanding of prison and attitudes about punishment. Undergraduate criminal justice students were given a survey to assess their attitudes about prisons, prisoners, and alternative sanctions before and after a field trip to the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility. Post-survey responses showed changes in students’ perceptions regarding punitiveness, prisons, prisoners, and rehabilitation. We discuss this finding within the framework of the contact hypothesis, and we recommend including this type of first-hand exposure as part of a criminal justice curriculum.
