Community Corrections: An Intersectional Approach provides students with a complete overview of the community corrections system and the nature of community corrections work. This textbook demonstrates how the consideration and application of an intersectional approach can increase the efficacy of supervision within an increasingly complex system.

The textbook is organized into four distinct parts, which cover theoretical orientations and context, the functions of community corrections, those served by community corrections, and how to measure and support success. Opening chapters introduce community corrections and its complex nature, review various punishment philosophies, describe the theoretical approach of intersectionality, and examine key elements of the probation and parole systems. Additional chapters cover the daily activities of probation and parole officers, intermediate sanctions, correctional interventions, and how the social structure and categorizations of people by individual characteristics creates the potential for disparate treatment. Students learn how an intersectional approach can help those in community corrections better understand and serve diverse clients and vulnerable populations. Closing chapters cover recidivism, organizational culture within probation and parole agencies, and the importance of partnerships and evaluation for success.

An essential resource, Community Corrections is an exemplary textbook for courses and programs in criminal justice, criminology, and corrections.
