In this textbook for advanced undergraduates, Hanser (criminal justice, University of Louisiana) emphasizes offender reintegration, partnerships between community corrections agencies and other agencies, and lessons learned from real-life communities around the country. Issues of evaluation are integrated throughout the book, and there is much material devoted to special offender typologies, such as sex offenders, mentally ill offenders, and drug offenders. This second edition contains a new chapter on restorative justice and an increased focus on evidence-based practices, with data drawn from federal government documents and briefings. New learning features for this edition include share-your-opinion boxes and critical thinking questions about recent research articles. Other learning features include mock pre-sentence investigation reports, case scenarios, and national and international comparisons. The text's two-color layout includes b&w photos. An instructor website is available. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Offering comprehensive coverage with an applied, practical perspective, Community Corrections, Second Edition covers all the major topics in the field while emphasizing reintegration and community partnerships and focusing strongly on assessment, risk prediction, and classification. Author Robert D. Hanser draws on his expertise with offender treatment planning, special needs populations, and the comparative criminal justice fields to present a complete assessment of the issues and challenges facing community corrections today. Insights into how the day-to-day practitioner conducts business in community corrections are illustrated by such things as the increasing role technology plays in the field.
