Research has shown that incarcerated individuals experience significantly higher rates of trauma prior to and during incarceration, compared with the general population. However, despite the rich evidence regarding traumatic backgrounds, and evidence of a link between trauma and (re)offending, trauma-informed practice among inmates, particularly among men, is still limited. The paucity of trauma-informed services among inmates may be due to the deeply polarized victimization and criminal paradigms, that ignore the empirical overlap between victims and offenders. Given this limitation, the aim of this article is to outline a Trauma-Orientated Recovery Framework (TORF) for offenders, by synergizing positive victimology with a positive criminology perspective. These holistic perspectives highlight the value of promoting personal, interpersonal, and spiritual integration. Accordingly, this practice framework outlines guidelines for formal and informal interventions, to achieve recovery and rehabilitation by promoting positive experiences such as self-compassion, family involvement, forgiveness, service to others, social support, recovery-oriented carceral environments, and spiritual growth. By providing a comprehensive framework, these guidelines target symptoms of multilevel trauma, and encourage the incarcerated individual to living a life worth living, in a bid to help them connect with community, and foster their spiritual growth, thereby making great strides toward addressing recidivism.

罪犯的创伤导向康复框架:罪犯康复的必要环节
研究表明,与一般人群相比,被监禁者在监禁前和监禁期间遭受的创伤率要高得多。然而,尽管有关于创伤背景的丰富证据,并且有证据表明创伤与(再)犯罪之间存在联系,但囚犯,尤其是男性中的创伤知情实践仍然有限。囚犯缺乏创伤知情服务可能是由于严重两极分化的受害和犯罪范式,忽略了受害者和罪犯之间的经验重叠。鉴于此限制,本文的目的是通过将积极的受害者学与积极的犯罪学相结合,为罪犯概述一个以创伤为导向的康复框架 (TORF)看法。这些整体观点突出了促进个人、人际关系和精神融合的价值。因此,本实践框架概述了正式和非正式干预的指导方针,通过促进积极的体验,如自我同情、家庭参与、宽恕、为他人服务、社会支持、以康复为导向的监禁环境和精神成长,实现康复和康复。通过提供一个全面的框架,这些指南针对多层次创伤的症状,鼓励被监禁者过上有价值的生活,以帮助他们与社区建立联系,促进他们的精神成长,从而在解决再犯问题方面取得巨大进展。
