Caracteristici

  • Real-life examples,quotes from practitioners and clients, and authentic descriptions of contemporary practices give insights to the practical side of probation, parole, and community corrections and help students make informed decisions about whether they wish to pursue a career in this field.
  • Features discussions of topical issues that will dominate probation and parole for the next decade: intermediate sanctions (Ch. 10), offender recidivism, supervision classification (Chs. 5, 7, 10, 11), restorative justice (Ch. 10), electronic surveillance (Ch. 12), shock incarceration (Chs. 10 & 12) and intensive supervision (Ch. 10). These discussions reflect the points of view of practitioners, offenders, and ex-offenders.
  • Introduces theoretical concepts and historical perspectives that help explain the growth and development of probation and parole (Chs. 1-3) so that students learn how these innovations in corrections are logical extensions of several centuries of reforms and changes in correctional policy.
  • A dedicated chapter on administration (Ch. 8) helps educate students, many of whom will someday occupy management positions, on the realities of administration, bureaucracy, and the political and social background of administration, with cutting-edge suggestions on what it takes to be a good manager. Students learn what to expect and effective strategies to get things done and implement change.
  • Presents an extensive analysis of the factors behind the decision by most contemporary probation and parole agencies to openly advocate restrictive supervision methods and close offender monitoring (Ch. 10).
  • A final chapter (Ch. 12) on the future of probation and parole encourages critical thinking about probation and parole, what the challenges and opportunities are for community corrections, and is a good vehicle for generating class discussion.
