Crime and Employment crystallizes the issue of work as a
rehabilitative instrument in the modern correctional environment.
It explores the effect of employment on crime and recidivism, with
its implications for correctional programs and operations as well
as for ex-offender reintegration into the community. The
professionals contributing to this volume evaluate the
effectiveness of employment in enabling offenders to desist from
crime; the roles of prison versus community correctional services;
the success of work programs for older versus younger offenders;
the effect of industrial employment on reducing prison misconduct
and post-release recidivism; the relevance of prior employment,
substance abuse histories, poverty, and family contexts on
subsequent inmate work programs; and the availability of quality
employment, lawful lifestyles, and community vocational programs in
sustaining economic rehabilitation of offenders. This book will be
of great value to practitioners and policymakers alike in the areas
of corrections, criminal justice, criminology, social problems,
labor policy, social welfare, deviance and social control.
