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.
