A volume in Educational Leadership for Social JusticeSeries Editor Jeffrey S. Brooks, Iowa State University, Denise E. Armstrong, Brock University; IraBogotch, Florida Atlantic University; Sandra Harris, Lamar University; Whitney H. Sherman, VirginiaCommonwealth University; George Theoharis, Syracuse UniversityEducation-Based Incarceration and Recidivism: The Ultimate Social Justice Crime Fighting Tool takes a penetratinglook at the needs and challenges of society's disenfranchised jail populations. It is incumbent to encourage publicawareness of the causes that underlie the destructive cycles plaguing these populations, including the abuse and neglectthat cycle through generations. When effectively addressed through education the economic burden on society islightened and an advocacy to increase understanding engenders a humane response. When connecting education-basedincarceration to leadership and social justice, several issues come to mind, beginning with the universal understanding that definitions of social justice are based on avariety of factors, like political orientation, religious background, and political and social philosophy. An increased body of researchers in educational leadership, ethics, law, sociology, corrections, law enforcement, criminal justice, and public health agree that social justice is concerned with equal justice, not just in the courts, but in allaspects of society. Social justice demands that people promote a just society where people have equal rights and opportunities; everyone, from the poorest person on themargins of society to the wealthiest deserves an even playing field.The intended audience for this book includes academics, national and international law enforcement agencies, and correctional institutions interested in establishing andassessing the effectiveness of an education-based incarceration program. This book can also be used by educators and students interested in studying organizational leadership, correctional theory, recidivism, social and restorative justice, and education-based incarceration.
