De basisopleiding voor gevangenisbewaarders in vergelijkend perspectief: België versus Canada<br />
Bijlage 1: ‘Rating Guide Personal Suitability‘ voor kandidaat-C.O.’s<br />
1. Respect<br />
Description<br />
Within the correctional environment, the employee will regularly encounter experiences that place his or her<br />
values up against those of other individuals and groups. Firstly, it is vital that the candidate has values that are<br />
generally consistent with those enunciated in the CSC Mission. Where differences exist, the candidate must be<br />
capable of respecting these differences to maintain his or her professional obligations. Furthermore, how he or<br />
she behaves in response to perspectives, beliefs, or ideas other than his or her own will have a significant impact<br />
on how effective the candidate would be in encouraging and assisting the offender and in working in the<br />
correctional team. It is imperative that potential employees bring to the position a respect for Canadian law,<br />
authority, the philosophy of social justice, and the CSC Mission. They will experience differences in values and<br />
beliefs in the diverse groups of offenders, staff, and other criminal justice system partners. Their ability to be<br />
empathic, while upholding their value system, is essential.<br />

Rating Guide<br />
The candidate is outwardly critical of Canadian law and/or the philosophies of social<br />
justice and progressive Canadian corrections. His or her value system is dissonant and<br />
irreconcilable with that of the CSC Mission. The candidate is hostile to the beliefs,<br />
ideas and differences of others and aggressively oppresses diversity. The candidate<br />
attempts to impose his or her strong biases on others. He or she is likely to initiate<br />
punitive encounters with offenders and confrontational relations with others. The<br />
candidate would likely rebel against the authority of his or her supervisors.<br />
The candidate is passively unsupportive of Canadian law and/or the philosophy of<br />
social justice and progressive Canadian corrections. When probed, the candidate<br />
displays disrespect, rigidity, intolerance, and insensitivity towards the CSC Mission,<br />
as well as towards the beliefs, ideas, and differences of others. When confronted, the<br />
candidate guards and defends his or her values. The candidate’s absence of empathy<br />
and compassion would likely lead to confrontations with offenders and others. The<br />
candidate’s lack of respect for authority would likely make him or her very difficult to<br />
supervise.<br />
The candidate is ambivalent towards Canadian law and/or the philosophy of social<br />
justice and progressive Canadian corrections. While not strongly opposed to the CSC<br />
Mission, the candidate demonstrates indifference. He or she is apathetic towards the<br />
beliefs, values and differences of others. The candidate’s lack of commitment to a<br />
value system would likely lead to sporadic, complacent interactions with offenders<br />
and others. The candidate would likely need continual supervision in this area.<br />
The candidate generally accepts Canadian law and/or the philosophy of social justice<br />
and progressive Canadian corrections. There are some differences between his or her<br />
value system and the CSC Mission, however the candidate is flexible enough to readjust<br />
and respect these minor differences. He or she reacts tactfully, courteously, and<br />
sensitively to the beliefs, ideas, and differences of others. The candidate’s empathy<br />
and compassion would likely result in open, fair, and humane interactions with<br />
offenders and others. The candidate would require routine supervision in this area.<br />
