Free Downloads Probation And Parole: Theory And Practice (12th Edition)
Written from an insider’s view, this text provides an up-to-date and comprehensive examination of a field that is undergoing significant change. Probation and Parole: Theory and Practice, 12e looks at the history of the field, how it moved from a focus on treatment/rehabilitation and the indeterminate sentence, toward a model based on control/law enforcement and the determinate sentence. It offers a logical, student-friendly approach. Written by a former community corrections professional, the author provides an insider’s view on how these changes affected the roles and responsibilities of probation and parole officers. In contrast to competing texts, the author weaves his experience with the practices of probation and parole agencies throughout the United States to provide a realistic, state-of-the-art view of the field. The use of cognitive behavior therapy and motivation interviewing, “broken windows”/community-based supervision, and the importance of evidence-based practice are examined. Teaching and Learning Experience This book will help students gain an insider’s view of the rapidly changing field of community corrections/probation and parole.

this was required reading for a class. It did a good job of explaining important info such as differences between probation and parole and the processes for each, beginning at the time the crimes are committed. The writing is very dry, and I believe there are better options out there if you are pleasure reading. This seems like a college level book, but about anyone can read it and gain the basic desired knowledge.
Item as described. Clean and great price! If is responsible for packaging, this is directed towards them: I wasn't pleased with the packaging at all. I feel as though the items were assailable to environmental elements, or could have easily slipped out of the untapped packaging, or easily stolen.
The book was interesting, well written and very informative. The book does a good job of explaining the process on probation and parole as well as other important information for each. I used this book for college, but anyone can read it and gain some basic knowledge from it.
This is exactly what I ordered, a school textbook. It is well written and interesting enough. It was priced great compared to other text books that I have bought, so I am happy about that.
The book arrived in a timely manner, in perfect condition and the author wrote the book in a 'reader friendly' style. I am using this book in my course for my degree in Criminal Justice and I am quite happy with the way it is proceeding - Thanks to !Barbara
The book itself is divided into chapters whose topics are flooded throughout the entire book. There is no order whatsoever. Within a paragraph, there are several listings of states enacting different things at different times which do not correlate in any way from one sentence to another. There is no organization within the text and the author has evidently never heard of the chronological concept. This is a poor text and if you are taking a course which lists this book as a mandatory text, find a different university.
This book was very informative on probation and parole procedures. Highly recommended to all my friends. There is a newer edition that is more update than the 10 Ed.
i got this book for college i learned a lot from it, it was great it has graet information thank you for the great exper,
