As the U.S. prison and jail systems continue to struggle, options like probation, parole, alternative sentencing, and both residential and non-residential programs in the community continue to grow in importance. This text provides a solid foundation and includes the most salient information available on the broad and dynamic subject of community corrections. Authors Latessa and Lovins organize and evaluate the latest data on the assessment of offender risk\/need\/responsivity and successful methods that continue to improve community supervision and its effects on different types of clients, from those with mental illness or substance abuse problems to juveniles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides students with a thorough understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of community corrections and prepares them to evaluate and strengthen these crucial programs. This seventh edition includes new chapters on pretrial, and graduated responses as well as updated information on specialty drug and other problem-solving courts. Now found in every state, these specialty courts represent a way to deal with some of the most devastating problems that face our population, be it substance abuse or re-entry to the community from prison. Chapters contain key terms, boxed material, review questions, and recommended readings, and a glossary is provided to clarify important concepts. The instructorâs guide is expanded, offering sample syllabi for semester, quarter, and online classes; student exercises; and research and information links. A test bank and lecture slides are also available at no cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCriminal justice students are often taught very little about community corrections, even though 7 of 10 individuals under correctional supervision in the U.S. are on probation or parole. Latessa and Lovins have written an informative, current text about pretrial, probation, and parole that includes the latest evidence-based approaches. This is a valuable addition to the academic library and will help prepare the next generation of practitioners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cem\u003eBarbara Broderick, Chief, Maricopa County Adult Probation\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the latest edition of \u003ci\u003eCorrections in the Community\u003c\/i\u003e, Latessa and Lovins have created a comprehensive, highly engaging, and up-to-date book that will easily and effectively guide the reader through America’s largest and perhaps most often misunderstood correctional system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudents will gain a thorough understanding of the history and development of the community correctional system, while also learning about the most recent issues that continue to shape and challenge the profession.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—\u003cem\u003eAlexander M.
