Abstract
The policy of individual treatment in penology developed as a reaction to the classic 18th-century endeavor to impose uniform penalties on criminals. The system that followed from this policy included diagnosis of individual problems and needs, prescription of therapy, and therapy by trained experts. In short, it involved an assumption parallel to clinical medicine, with its diagnosis, prescription, and therapy. A prime example of current treatment based on this assumption is individual therapy as a technique for reforming criminals.
