_Community Corrections: An Intersectional Approach_ provides students
with a complete overview of the community corrections system and the
nature of community corrections work. This textbook demonstrates how
the consideration and application of an intersectional approach can
increase the efficacy of supervision within an increasingly complex
system.
The textbook is organized into four distinct parts, which cover
theoretical orientations and context, the functions of community
corrections, those served by community corrections, and how to measure
and support success. Opening chapters introduce community corrections
and its complex nature, review various punishment philosophies,
describe the theoretical approach of intersectionality, and examine
key elements of the probation and parole systems. Additional chapters
cover the daily activities of probation and parole officers,
intermediate sanctions, correctional interventions, and how the social
structure and categorizations of people by individual characteristics
creates the potential for disparate treatment. Students learn how an
intersectional approach can help those in community corrections better
understand and serve diverse clients and vulnerable populations.
Closing chapters cover recidivism, organizational culture within
probation and parole agencies, and the importance of partnerships and
evaluation for success.
An essential resource, _Community Corrections_ is an exemplary
textbook for courses and programs in criminal justice, criminology,
and corrections.
