Social Case Work in Correctional SettingsKiran MSD
Social case work in correctional settings aims to help individuals cope with problems and bring correction to attitudes and behaviors. Correctional settings include jails, probation homes, and juvenile shelters that house people with unusual behaviors. In these settings, case workers can access clients daily and observe their social roles. Social case work in corrections focuses on mobilizing clients' inner capacities and environmental resources through the relationship between caseworker and client. This relationship enables clients to work constructively on problems. The goal is finding adjustment and equilibrium between clients and their environments.
Group work can be used in developmental programs related to health, family welfare, education, community development, and housing. In India, where poverty, disease, illiteracy and low living standards are widespread, group workers must strive for social action and social change. This includes establishing literacy programs, parent-teacher associations, vocational guidance, and organizing groups to demand changes from local authorities. If studied in India, group work will largely focus on organizing the majority of the normal population into self-help and self-governing groups, while continuing therapeutic services for those with issues. The efforts will aim to strive for social justice and removal of inequalities through partnership with social education.
Social case work aims to help individuals adjust and develop satisfying human relationships through one-on-one relationships. It involves understanding each individual's unique problems and working with them to access resources to address internal or external factors preventing them from making use of existing facilities. The process of social case work involves collecting a social history of the client, making a social diagnosis to understand the causes of their problems, and providing social treatment through various methods to help the client adjust and resolve their issues. Key aspects of case work include developing a therapeutic relationship with the client, taking a systematic approach, and helping the client access appropriate resources and opportunities.

Group work involves people working together for a common purpose. It requires communication, decision making, and developing relationships and roles. Recording group work is important to document activities, member participation, and the group's development over time. Evaluation assesses whether the group's problem was solved, the degree of individual and group growth, and the effectiveness of techniques used. Data collection methods can include questionnaires, checklists, interviews, and focus groups. Evaluating the group work process identifies areas for improvement and informs future planning.
There are three main phases of the social case work process: intake and psycho-social study, social diagnosis, and treatment and termination. The intake phase involves enrolling the client and assessing their needs and problems. During the psycho-social study phase, the worker gains an understanding of the client's problem and what help is needed. Social diagnosis involves assessing the problem based on past, present, and future factors to understand the causes. Treatment involves intervening based on the diagnosis, such as through counseling, environmental modifications, or providing practical services. The process ends with termination and evaluating the effectiveness of the treatment.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

• “social casework is a method employed by social workers to help
individuals find a solution to problems of social adjustment which
they are unable to handle in a satisfactory way by their own effort”
(Sanford - 1957)
• “Social case work means those processes which develop personality
through adjustment consciously affected, individual by individual,
between men and their social environment” (Mary Richmond -
1922)
• “Social case work is a process concerned with the understanding of
individuals as whole personalities and with the adjustment of these
individuals to socially healthy lives” Taylor (1926)
▫ Professional help offered by a caseworker
▫ The psycho social treatment to the client
▫ Studies mental, emotional and social factors.
▫ Establishes adjustments between individual capacities and resources.
5. Purpose of casework

and to enable the individual to resolve those problems
• To strengthen the individual’s ego in terms of self-esteem,

6. Values of casework
• Social casework (or social work) values have roots in the
democratic social system.
• These contain certain ideas which are valuable to anyone
engaged in social work practice.
The values are:
Every individual has inherent worth and dignity.
Individuals had to be respected so that they can get all
possible help and facilities to live a socially productive
and personally gratifying life.
Individual has the right to self- determination, taking
decisions about all the matters related to self as long as
it does not interfere with the rights of others.
One is considered to be capable of taking decisions about
one’s own future and the helper is only to tell him the
pros and cons of his decisions to enable him to choose his
own future course of action.
7. Values of casework
Every individual is the primary concern of society,
has potential for and the right to growth and it is the
responsibility of the society to provide equal
opportunities to everyone to actualise his self.
Every individual, in turn, has to contribute to the
society’s development by assuming his social
responsibility, discharging his functions honestly
and acting properly and adequately in his social
roles.
The individual and society in which one lives are
interdependent. Neither the individual nor the
society can be conceived of without each other.
Basic human needs have to be met by services which
are not contingent upon conformity either to moral
behaviour or to race, nationality, religion, caste, etc.
8. Basic Assumptions of Social Casework
• Individual and society are interdependent and
complimentary to each other.
• Various factors operative in the society influence human
behaviour and attitude.
• Some problems are psychological and some are
interpersonal in nature.
• In the process of social casework conscious and
controlled relations are established for achieving its
aims.
• Social casework enables an individual to solve his/ her
problems by channelizing his/her energy and capacity
positively.
• Social casework provides everyone equal right to
progress. It also provides help to every needy and
disabled person.
9. Ethical principles
The NASW Code of Ethics outlines six ethical principles that
“set forth ideals to which all social workers should aspire.”
• Service
▫ Social casework is a professional service intended for addressing
social ills, and helping others is a primary goal of all social
workers.
▫ Social workers should elevate the needs of others above their own
personal interests and use their skills and knowledge to help
people.
• Social Justice
▫ Social workers advocate on behalf of the oppressed, the voiceless,
and others who are unable to advocate for themselves.
▫ They often focus on issues such as poverty, homelessness,
discrimination, harassment, and other forms of injustice.
▫ Social workers provide information, help, and other resources to
people seeking equality, and they educate people who may not
directly experience discrimination about the struggles of the less
fortunate.
10. Ethical principles
• Dignity and Worth of the Person
▫ Every person is different, with different cultural and social values.
▫ Social workers are mindful of those differences, treating each
person with dignity and respect and promoting their clients’
capacity and opportunity to address their own needs and improve
their personal situations.
▫ Social workers must be cognizant of their duties to both
individual clients and to society as a whole, and seek solutions for
their clients that also support society’s broader interests.
• Importance of Human Relationships
▫ Social workers connect people who need assistance with
organizations and individuals who can provide the appropriate
help.
▫ Social workers recognize that facilitating human relationships
can be a useful vehicle for creating change, and they excel at
engaging potential partners who can create, maintain, and
enhance the well-being of families, neighbourhoods, and whole
communities.
11. Ethical principles
• Integrity
▫ In order to facilitate these relationships and improve others’
lives, social workers must exhibit trustworthiness at all
times.
▫ Each social worker must be continually aware of the
profession’s mission, values, and ethical principles and
standards, and set a good example of these components for
their clients.
▫ By behaving honestly and responsibly, social workers can
promote the organizations with which they’re affiliated
while also creating the most value for the populations they
serve.
• Competence
▫ Each social worker must practice within his or her scope of
competence and avoid misrepresenting his or her skills or
experience to potential clients.
▫ Social workers must continually strive to expand their
knowledge base and competence in order to make
meaningful contributions to the profession.
12. Historical development of casework
• Casework as practised today, a purely western (predominantly
USA) model, owes its history to work by individuals and
organisations with the poor.
• The Association for Improving the Conditions of the Poor
(AICP) founded in 1843 in USA, emphasised self-respect, self-
dependence and relief suitable to their needs in its work with
the poor.
• The approach behind this service by AICP had a clear
departure from the earlier services to the poor in colonial
America under Elizabethan Poor Law of 1601, etc., which was
based on the concept of charity.
• Seeds of social casework seems to have been shown with the
individualised services of Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847)
followed by the Charity Organisation Society (COS) of 1869
(London) and 1877 (USA) respectively.
• Their work involved investigation to determine clients’ needs,
central registration, recording, relief giving and use of
volunteer, i.e., friendly visitor. Friendly visitors of COS (USA)
discovered that all the poor were—not alike and that they
should be treated differently.
13. Historical development of casework
• COS was asked to reach the individual and restore his function
without bothering for detection of imposters on relief. Thus, the
concept of scientific charity came into practice and it was
recognised that “the poor, and those in trouble worse than
poverty, have not, in common, any type of physical, intellectual
or moral development which would warrant an attempt to group
them as a class”.
• Friendly visitors at a later stage received training in
investigation, diagnosis and treatment for which the New York
School of Philanthropy was established towards the end of 19th
century (Bruno, 1957) and it was during this time that term
‘casework’ appeared in a paper read at a national conference.
The COS movement gave birth to Family Welfare Association in
1905.
• In England, around the end of the 19th century, outside visitor
(called almoner) at the instance of Sir Charles Loch came to help
hospitals to serve their patients effectively. The almoner, like
paid agents and friendly visitor of USA, can be said to be the
predecessor of caseworker. The almoner’s original assignment
was seen as the prevention of abuse of hospital treatment.
14. Historical development of casework
• By 1911, social casework had emerged in USA as an accepted
formal technique though the first book on social casework was
published in 1917 by Mary Richmond. Various definitions of
casework in the 1920s under the influence of Freudian theory
no more emphasised external factors. It held the individual
responsible for his plight and it was he who was helped to cope
with the social problems confronting him.
• During the same time, social reforms and social problems
received little attention compared to its earlier period when
the emphasis was on correcting the social environment of the
client. In 1920s, under the Freudian influence, casework was
to “reconstruct the twisted personality” and “change human
attitudes” so that the client could adjust to his environment.
• In contrast to the trend in 1920s, caseworkers shifted their
focus in 1930s from individual to modification and
manipulation of the client’s environment to enable him to
adapt to his situations satisfactorily. This change was because
of acceptance of the idea by Americans that social and
economic variables influenced man’s behaviour meaningfully.
