Welcome to the website of the Criminal Justice Section of Div. 18 of the APA. Members of this section work primarily with incarcerated people and administrators who operate state or federal correctional facilities and detention centers. They provide professional support to one another through an exchange of information concerning the administration, assessment, treatment, ethical, and training issues that are involved in this challenging line of work.
The Gavel , the newsletter of the American Psychological Association’s Div. 18 Criminal Justice Section, is offered biannually with a winter and summer edition. Read about news, highlights, and publications relevant to the section, as well as guest, early career, and student members columns, and featured member spotlight sections.
