Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to examine the previous literature to investigate how choice theory ideals can be applied to the current criminal justice system in the United States of America. This research is significant as it highlights a new approach to rehabilitating incarcerated individuals. The study proposes that by incorporating a choice theory perspective in prisons, more individuals can be successfully rehabilitated and released which will ultimately decrease the serious issues of overcrowding and recidivism.
