Traditional Rehabilitation
Theory idea: medical model of 'curing' the offender, sentencing is secondary and length is determined by how long the 'cure' e.g. CBT will take
Other factors considered:
- why the offender is offending (drug/alcohol misuse, poverty, unemployment) & change these factors
- Basis of modern probation
Examples: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, counselling, training
Problem: Optimism in the theory lasted until 1970s
