Rehabilitation of offenders; Central government policies; Criminal law & procedure

Most of the studies that discuss offender rehabilitation focus on the debate over whether prison-based education programs work, ignoring the important issues that these programs undertake. Using a critical approach, Offender Rehabilitation Issues: Critical Lessons for Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Public Policy fills the gap by highlighting the offender rehabilitation programs that continue to divide scholars, policy makers, correctional practitioners, students, and the public. This book demonstrates and reaffirms that offender rehabilitation programs and recidivism rates are important and critical social issues that do not exist in a vacuum, are complex interacting social processes and issues with broader social, economic, legal, and political environmental forces and pressures.

Many books have been published on institutional corrections, but this Offender Rehabilitation Issues text provides the most effective mechanisms for ameliorating recidivism rate. Undeniably, recidivism rate is the most significant, vital dependable measure of the effectiveness of a correctional strategy.--Obi N. I. Ebbe, Professor Emeritus, The University Tennesse, Chattanooga
