This book offers criminologists and students an evidence-based
discussion of the latest trends in corrections. Over the last
several decades, research has clearly shown that rehabilitation
efforts can be effective at reducing recidivism among criminal
offenders. However, researchers also recognize that treatment is
not a "one size fits all" approach. Offenders vary by gender, age,
crime type, and/or addictions, to name but a few, and these
individual needs must be addressed by providers. Finally, issues
such as leadership, quality of staff, and evaluation efforts affect
the quality and delivery of treatment services. This book
synthesizes the vast research for the student interested in
correctional rehabilitation as well as for the practitioner working
with offenders. While other texts have addressed issues regarding
treatment in corrections, this text is unique in that it not only
discusses the research on "what works" but also addresses
implementation issues as practitioners move from theory to
practice, as well as the importance of staff, leadership and
evaluation efforts. Evidence-based approach to answering key questions about corrections policy Coverage of issues in correctional facilities and also during re-entry into the community
