Synopsis

An Innovative New Text That Addresses a Critical Issue "Reentry is one of the pressing issues facing corrections today and Matthew Crow and John Smykla have clearly hit a homerun with their new book. They have covered all the important topics ranging from what should be done inside the walls, to the challenges and pitfalls awaiting those exiting our prisons and jails. They have provided a roadmap for anyone concerned about reentry, be that student or practitioner. This book will become a must read for anyone interested in understanding and improving our reentry efforts." -Edward J. Latessa, Ph.D. Interim Dean and Professor, University of Cincinnati Nearly 2,000 people are released from prison every day in the United States, many of whom face significant barriers to re-entry into the civilian population. Within three years, two-thirds of them will be rearrested, and nearly half will return to prison for a new crime or parole violation. Offender Reentry: Rethinking Criminology and Criminal Justice is the first text of its kind to address this major issue in criminology and criminal justice. Bringing together cutting-edge and never-before-published research, and authored by the most critically recognized experts in the field, this text offers students extraordinary insight into the experiences of both offenders in reentry and the practitioners who work within the legal system. Real-world stories from criminal justice professionals and offenders themselves are integrated with up-to-the minute research and thought-provoking analysis. Student-oriented pedagogical features, including critical-thinking and discussion questions for every chapter, push students to engage deeply with the text and synthesize their own innovative solutions to contemporary problems. The text addresses all of the societal factors that affect offender reentry, as well as the political and economic effects on the community and issues of public safety. Ideally suited for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in criminal justice and criminology, Offender Reentry is an invaluable new addition to the field. Preview sample content today!
