2008-09 Continuing Education Series

The LSU School of Social Work initiated a continuing education program in the spring of 2000. The School seeks to provide a service to the social work community through educational opportunities, primarily related to direct practice. The goal is to provide high quality programming with a minimum cost to participants. In addition to the educational benefits, the workshops are a perfect opportunity for alums to visit with classmates and colleagues.

Social Work in Italy

In October 2006, 54 social workers and mental health professionals from Louisiana explored the criminal justice system in Italy. The LSU School of Social Work sponsored the ten day continuing education tour. Faculty members from the University of Florence interacted with the group to provide insight into the Italian system.

The group toured a large prison in Florence where many of the inmates were released due to periodic proclamations of induto. This proclamation reduces criminal sentences by three years for those convicted of all but the most serious crimes. This typically results in release or parole for many prisoners and is part of a strategy to reduce prison overcrowding. Other differences in our systems include sections for women with children under the age of three who remain with their mothers, and the absence of a death penalty.

While learning the ins and outs of the Italian criminal justice system, the participants were able to enjoy the magnificent sights around them. The group visited Venice, Florence, and Rome.
