Policy Alternatives for Reducing Recidivism: A Case Study

Rate this book
The current correctional philosophy of intensive sentencing, incarceration and supervision fails to produce successful reentry programs reducing recidivism and calming the public’s fears of victimization.

The challenge of prisoner reentry; the process of leaving prison and returning to society is examined in this work for presenting a more comprehensive solution than "Locking them up and throwing away the key."

This case study presents a comprehensive evaluation of the correctional system’s philosophy of prisoner reentry and its effect on recidivism, and provides an example of what works.
