Community-Based Corrections 12th Edition by Leanne Fiftal Alarid
Quick Navigation

Overview

Research-based, comprehensive, and up-to-date, COMMUNITY-BASED CORRECTIONS, 12th Edition provides an excellent introduction to the theory, evidence-based practices, and latest research in community-based corrections. Students learn about the supervision techniques and treatment programs that constitute alternatives to incarceration -- including probation, parole, electronic monitoring, problem-solving courts, residential facilities, therapeutic communities, restitution, fines, and other options. Content on theories related to community correctional goals includes discussion of reintegration; specific deterrence; rehabilitation through risk, needs, and responsivity; and the participation process model. Available with MindTap, the digital learning solution that powers students' mastery of key concepts while engaging them with video cases, career scenarios, visual summaries, and more.

What's New

{{collapseContainerClosed['whats-new'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • There are six new "Field Note" essays in this edition. These essays are authored by correctional practitioners and include varied topics such as presentence investigation interviewing and reports (Ch. 4); supervising undocumented offenders (Ch. 6); working at a halfway house (Ch. 8); supervising offenders on GPS (Ch. 9); reentry courts (Ch. 11); and supervising gang members (Ch. 13).
  • Six new chapter-opening stories provide real-life connections to chapter topics. For example, as immigration issues come to the forefront of the Trump Presidency, a new story illuminates the role of the corrections system in the lives of undocumented immigrants who come across the border seeking political asylum from their home country.
  • A new section has been added on supervising undocumented offenders in the community.

Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • Learning by Doing: Students apply what they learn to real-world scenarios via case studies at the end of every chapter, and/or lengthier assignments that simulate supervising a person on community supervision. These exercises (and the real-world case studies in MindTap) can be used in class discussions or as a basis for writing assignments. Assignments include writing a Presentence Investigation Report based on case information and/or a sample PSI (Ch. 4); interviewing protocol for clients (Ch. 5); assessing risk and needs using objective tools (Ch. 5); and decision making while supervising a probationer or parolee (Ch. 7).
  • Evidence-Based Learning: This text contains essential evidence-based practice based on methodologically rigorous research that helps readers develop informed viewpoints and feel confident about which programs should be expanded and which should be replaced in community corrections.
  • Learning from Multiple Perspectives: The author is a former community corrections practitioner and an expert in conducting correctional research and evaluations. "Field Notes" boxes spotlight other correctional practitioners who write about a supervision or treatment issue from their own perspective. Among the topics addressed are a typical day of probation supervision, dealing with parole violators and absconders, and the knowledge/skills/abilities required to become a supervision officer.
