Items related to Probation, Parole, and Community Corrections (4th Edition)
Synopsis
Suggesting that all components of the criminal and juvenile justice systems are interrelated to varying degrees, this thorough study describes the objectives of probation and parole for criminally convicted adults and juveniles and whether these objectives are achieved. Helping readers deepen their understanding of these philosophies through an examination of the history of parole and probation in the United States, it describes probation and parole programs, considers various classes of offenders, and highlights several problems associated with the selection and training of probation and parole officers including their relationships with offender-clients. It remains the only major volume of its kind to combine the standard topics in probation and parole with full coverage of recent trends in community corrections. Exceptionally well organized, it emphasizes a legalistic approach, noting key legal cases where appropriate and including our most recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions. The volume provides a complete analysis of probation, community corrections, and the sentencing process; jails, prisons, and parole; the administration of probation and parole organizational operations; special populations of offenders and juvenile probation; and parole and program evaluation. For those involved in criminal justice, probation, parole or community corrections fields.
