This article addresses community corrections training from the perspective of a former practitioner. Though CC training has received modest consideration, academies’ roles in reinforcing occupational cultures are nearly absent from the literature. This article addresses this gap with an autobiographical account of an academy experience and shows that not only did the profession appear to attract candidates with public safety orientations, but also that the academy reinforced those orientations through a disproportionate focus on use of force and officer safety. The article considers challenges policymakers and managers face when attempting to implement reform in public safety cultures.

本文从前从业者的角度讨论社区矫正培训。尽管 CC 培训受到了适度的考虑，但文献中几乎没有学院在加强职业文化方面的作用。本文通过对学院经历的自传性描述解决了这一差距，并表明该行业似乎不仅吸引了具有公共安全导向的候选人，而且学院还通过不成比例地关注使用武力和军官安全来强化这些导向。本文考虑了政策制定者和管理人员在尝试实施公共安全文化改革时面临的挑战。
