Table of ContentsReviews'Even in developed nations, community corrections typically operates in the shadows, little understood by members of the public or even the wider criminal legal system. In this essential new resource, a global team of contributors brings light to the vastly different visions of community corrections that have emerged around the globe.’ Shadd Maruna, Professor of Criminology, Queen's University Belfast ‘What an ambitious and essential initiative! The Routledge Handbook on Global Community Corrections by Ioan Durnescu, James M. Byrne, Benjamin J. Mackey and Faye S. Taxman meets a real need and brings an important contribution to improve the knowledge of corrections all over the world. The originality of this work lies in the fact that it considers the whole of the penal population, prison and probation, provides a structured view of 20 countries on 5 continents, and identifies common and fundamental questions that arise despite the great diversity of structures, cultures, organizations, etc., which are all part of the criminal justice system. The 10 challenges we all face are relevant and will certainly keep us focused in the future. This excellent work invites interested readers to think about social impact, good practices, ethical issues. This book offers a new insight about what could be expected to do things better and more appropriately than simply more.’ Annie Devos, Vice-chair of the PC-CP, president of the CEP and DG of the Houses of Justice at the Wallonia Brussels Federation in Belgium """Even in developed nations, community corrections typically operates in the shadows, little understood by members of the public or even the wider criminal legal system.
