Corrections in the Community examines the current state of community corrections and proposes an evidence-based approach to making programs more effective. This book provides students with a thorough understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of community corrections.Criminal justice students are often taught very little about community corrections, even though 7 of 10 individuals under correctional supervision in the U.S. are on probation or parole. Latessa and Lovins have written an informative, current text about pretrial, probation, and parole that includes the latest evidence-based approaches. This is a valuable addition to the academic library and will help prepare the next generation of practitioners.-Barbara Broderick, Chief, Maricopa County Adult Probation
With the latest edition of Corrections in the Community, Latessa and Lovins have created a comprehensive, highly engaging, and up-to-date book that will easily and effectively guide the reader through America's largest and perhaps most often misunderstood correctional system.
Students will gain a thorough understanding of the history and development of the community correctional system, while also learning about the most recent issues that continue to shape and challenge the profession.

With the aim of providing a comprehensive review, the authors move beyond the basic concepts of probation and parole to a rich understanding of community corrections. The text stands out for its excellent review of the evidence-based approaches that lead to more effective policies and practices. Corrections in the Community is an essential reading for students and professionals alike.
