Comprehensive in approach, it explores the cutting-edge of both practice and theory with regard to all aspects of adult and juvenile probation, institutions, and parole.
“The text is well written, is easy to read and contains pertinent information. We have used this text exclusively since the second edition and do not have any intention at this point to adopt a different text.”
Jon Cella, Central Texas College

Review
"I obviously like this text. It is as previously stated, 'a great text.' The author's background is excellent and it is written in a manner likely to assist the reader with the stated purpose of learning." ― Larry D. Andrews, Missouri Western State College
"I find Professor Abadinsky's book to be a very well-written, theoretically-informed overview of probation and parole in the United States. The book's z3-year endurance is an obvious testimonial to its merits as an introductory text." ― Robert P. Weiss, SUNY-Plattsburgh
"The approach Abadinsky takes is great. I like the fact that he starts the text with a review-type chapter that reinforces what students should have learned in previous classes. I think his approach is very good and students will appreciate his candor." ― Steve Christiansen, Green River Community College
