2. Aftercare Plans For Non Violent, Violent and Trauma Victims
Individuals are faced with different challenges when adapting to
their new surrounding after certain activity or events in their
lives. It is very difficult to integrate effectively with the society
without significantly considering important issues that are
involved. Therefore, there is need to formulate a better plan,
which ensures that there is a better engagement, and individuals
can adapt to their surrounding effectively. Development of an
aftercare plan is very important as it puts into consideration
different strategies and components that need to be considered
while focusing on the condition of an individual at hand. Thus
every condition has different aftercare plan, which is developed
in a strategic manner to ensure that there, is an easy adaptation
to the new changes. This paper, therefore, provides a detailed
analysis of aftercare plan focusing on offenders both violent and
nonviolent as well as trauma victims. Comment by Jones,

In all of the cases considered an individual is psychological
influenced which makes it a complicated process to ensure that
they conform to a certain way of life with much ease as it would
have been expected. Thus, development of aftercare plans in
these cases provides a strategic engagement where these
individuals can be able to be integrated into the society with

plans (James et.al, 2013). Comment by Jones, Rachell L (Ph.D.)

Provide support for your statements throughout as well, cite if
they came from a source, cite to provide support based on

plans, etc.
Components of an effective aftercare plan
Therefore the aftercare plan will include some components
which need to be considered for development of a better plan.
Aftercare plan consists of five critical components, which must
be considered to create a better aftercare plan. An important
component of aftercare plan includes triggers. This includes
anything that could lead to the previous conditions. Thus, it is
important to list all the factors that are considered as triggers to
develop a better plan on how to avoid the situation. This may
also include friends. Cravings also form part of the components
to include in aftercare plan. This is a feeling of being addicted
to a certain way or things (James et .al., 2013). Comment by
Jones, Rachell L (Ph.D.) CIV USA MCCOE: New section, so
this transition is not applicable. Comment by Jones, Rachell
L (Ph.D.) CIV USA MCCOE: Which are what? Cite where you
got this from and why? Comment by Jones, Rachell L (Ph.D.)
CIV USA MCCOE: See your APA manual for how to properly
format citations in text and fix all.
Healthy tools include a list of important tools that have played a
significant role in the recovery process and thus it is important
to include them in an aftercare plan because of their sheer
importance. Recovery program tools are also important in the

4. development of the plan since it involves some steps to
consider. Damage control is an important component, which
includes various ways, which can be put in place to amend the
damages of addiction. These damages should be clearly
separated from critical areas in lives of individuals. Thus,
occasionally it is important for a patient to revisit their
aftercare plan to have a view on some of the important
components that are included in the plan (Holdsworth et. al.Al,
2014).
Aftercare plan for non-violent offenders
Nonviolent offenders are individuals who are convicted on
minor charges, such as property, drug and public order offenses,
which do not involve a threat to harm. Most of these crimes
involve addiction and thus even though they may have had their
time in correctional facilities or rehabilitation centers, there is a
high chance of getting back to the previous ways, and thus there
is need to develop a better aftercare plan to ensure that they are
effectively monitored. Therefore the aftercare plan will include
some components which need to be considered for development
of a better plan (Holdsworth et.al, 2014).Comment by Jones,
Rachell L (Ph.D.) CIV USA MCCOE: Support for these
statements? Comment by Jones, Rachell L (Ph.D.) CIV USA
MCCOE: This doesn’t really state anything substantive..
Therefore, in this case, the aftercare plan will outline the
reasons that led to previous conditions. This would consider in
order understanding these factors to develop better strategies to
avert the situation. An individual should admit her condition
and show a willingness to change his or her ways effectively.
Counseling is a very important aspect of aftercare plan for
nonviolent offenders since they do not require any significant
consideration but rather a reassurance that they are important
within the society if they consider the better ways of living.
Considering spiritual guidance is also an important part of
aftercare plan in non-violent offenders since these are
individuals who need to be shown total love through better
engagement. Thus, these are important components of the

5. aftercare plan for nonviolent offenders as it focuses on key
aspects of their lives (Duwe, 2015). Comment by Jones, Rachell
L (Ph.D.) CIV USA MCCOE: Same general comments. Work on
grammar to make your statements clear and to just make general
sense because many do not throughout.
Work on providing support from research for your choices and
ensure to cite when using info from sources.
Aftercare plan for violent offenders
Violent offenders require significant consideration since they
are capable of extreme actions. The first aspect to consider in
developing an aftercare plan for violent offenders is their
psychological composition. It is important to understand these
individuals are of sound mind before any engagement. The
psychological consideration will provide the required
understanding of their characteristics and why they are violent
in nature. There is the need for intense counseling once they are
found to be of sound mind. The intense counseling will seek at
creating a new understanding of these individuals personality
since a violent offender will always receive negative
consideration from the society, which is most likely to influence
their return to previous violent ways. Therefore, it is important
to ensure that these individuals understand themselves and help
them to develop their fragile personality until they are strong
enough (Gossner et.al, 2016). Comment by Jones, Rachell L
(Ph.D.) CIV USA MCCOE: Maybe, maybe not. Comment by
Jones, Rachell L (Ph.D.) CIV USA MCCOE: Maybe, maybe
not…
Integration into community development programs is an
important consideration, which is important in an aftercare plan
since being engaged ensures that an individual is not focusing
on doing any harm but rather of promoting developmental
agendas within their communities. Most of these violent
offenders have specific reasons as to why they resort to
violence. These reasons must be significantly identified to
create a better engagement environment where they can be able

6. to learn and adapt to new way of life (Duwe, 2015).
Comment by Jones, Rachell L (Ph.D.) CIV USA MCCOE:
How do you know this? Comment by Jones, Rachell L (Ph.D.)
CIV USA MCCOE: What does this mean? Significantly
identified? Comment by Jones, Rachell L (Ph.D.) CIV USA
MCCOE: Same comments as above on this section.
Aftercare plan for Trauma victim
A trauma victim is an individual who has serious psychological
issues, which leave them very weak and terrified. Aftercare plan
for such individuals involves counseling. The counseling’s
process aims at identifying the reasons of the trauma and
develop better strategies to engage the victim to help them to
regain their initial condition. A trauma victim takes the time to
heal since their memory is always engrossed in the traumatic
action that occurred. Thus unless the bad memory is erased, it is
difficult to engage such victims (Doherty and Morley, 2016).
Comment by Jones, Rachell L (Ph.D.) CIV USA MCCOE:
This is not true at all. Some trauma victims may have these
issues, but some cope just fine. You must write more clearly.
Therefore, the best and most significant plan is to consider
each case differently and help them in undergoing the different
counseling stages, which are aimed at improving the wellbeing
of the victim. A trauma victim cannot heal at once but it is a
process which is systematic, and any omission of one-step
prevents the effectiveness of the whole process; thus they are
very delicate individuals to deal with, but with proper care and
attention it is much easy to manage their conditions (Muraya
and Fry, 2016).Comment by Jones, Rachell L (Ph.D.) CIV USA
MCCOE: Same comments. Work on improving the clarity of
your writing, making sure each sentence says what it is
supposed to (many of your sentences do not convey intended
message). Weave support for your choices throughout, and cite,
cite, cite…
It’s hard to say given your grammar issues, but you do have
some good content, and a good start. Work on issues and

7. resubmit before final project for another round of feedback.
