In doing so, this study sought to answer how rehabilitation and recidivism were portrayed and to address the morality of involving members of vulnerable populations (i.e. children, incarcerated, members of ethnic minorities) to participate in a reality television show during their rehabilitation.application/pdfengThe author of this work is the copyright owner.
