Community-Based Corrections

by Leanne Fiftal Alarid, Paul F. Cromwell, Rolando V. del Carmen

Up-to-date, comprehensive, and objective, COMMUNITY-BASED CORRECTIONS gives you essential information on the wide array of punishment and treatment programs that constitute alternatives to incarceration. You'll be introduced into a number of programs--such as probation, parole, electronic monitoring, house arrest, day-treatment centers, boot camps, restitution, and fines-designed to meet the needs and levels of risk posed by the individual offender. Additionally, you will learn about the practical and legal matters involved in running these programs, and you'll gain insight into their historical, philosophical, social, and legal underpinnings.

Great book on learning about Community-Based Corrections. Easy to read and there's a nice glossary at the end for definitions of words that are important to what you are learning.
