Abstract

<p>This paper seeks to clarify how social workers in regional sustained community life support centers for elderly and disabled ex-offenders develop practices in their field to help targets who have been released from correctional institutions. Therefore, the study conducted a semi-structured interview survey with seven staff members of regional sustained community life support centers for elderly and disabled ex-offenders in six prefectures. From the analysis, 33 codes were generated and organized into 12 categories, and these were divided into three scenes for analysis:direct relations with the support targets, cooperation with correctional institutions/probation offices, and cooperation with relevant local organizations. Consequently, several characteristics were clarified: First, the social work practices of regional sustained community life support centers for elderly and disabled ex-offenders are recognized in terms of both universality and professionalism. Second, social workers of regional sustained community life support centers for elderly and disabled ex-offenders assess support targets within a limited time or environment to help them after they have been released from correctional institutions. Third, the social workers of regional sustained community life support centers for elderly and disabled ex-offenders must cooperate with various organizations.</p>
