Description: "Community Corrections and Human Dignity presents a new approach to the rapidly growing fields of probation and parole based on the author's extensive experience and recent research in the field. This book explores community corrections from its 19th century origins and century-long evolution to modern issues, including supervision models, offender treatment, parole and restorative parole, offender technical violations, and future crime prevention. Readers will learn about different types of probationers, why offenders should be treated respectfully, and proper offender treatment. With a positive focus and real life examples throughout, this book presents a comprehensive discussion of past achievements, current issues, and future challenges in the fields of probation and parole."--Jacket.
