Items related to Comm-Based Corrections 5e
Synopsis
This text focuses on all forms of corrections and correctional facilities outside of jails and prisons, from traditional incarceration programmes to the most current programms of the late 1990s such as electronic monitoring, house arrest, day-treatment, bootcamp and fines. Concentrating on a traditional and balanced approach, this new edition reflects a stronger emphasis on the legal matters related to alternative corrections.

Review
"I like the choice and development of the topics. I have found the material to be relevant to the course, well researched and presented in a manner that is both informative and interesting to the students and also to me. Numerous anecdotes, illustrations, etc., especially in the 6th Edition, have helped to make the material come alive." "The INSTRUCTOR'S MANUAL which accompanies this text has been a big help in focusing upon content highlights as well as in test preparation." "They have done a commendable job of presenting the material in ways that are relevant, informative, interesting and up-to-date." "I would describe this text as one which covers all the major topics well, including history, philosophy, legal issues, past and current community corrections programs, and changes and trends in community corrections. I particularly like the balance and extent of coverage and with few reservations, as noted elsewhere in this review, the format as well."
