Overview

In contrast to the generally dismal results of various approaches to rehabilitation, these consciousness-based strategies have proven effective in preventing crime and rehabilitating offenders! This book will introduce you to a powerful, unique approach to offender rehabilitation and crime prevention. In contrast to the generally dismal results of most rehabilitation approaches, studies covering periods of 1-15 years indicate that this new approach - employing the Maharishi Transcendental Meditation[trademark] and TM-Sidhi programs - reduces recidivism from 35-50 percent. Transcendental Meditation in Criminal Rehabilitation and Crime Prevention provides a theoretical overview, new original research findings, and examples of practical implementation. With this book, readers will explore what motivates people to commit crimes, with emphasis on stress and restricted self-development. Then you'll examine the results and policy implications of applying these consciousness-based techniques to offender rehabilitation and crime reduction. Most chapters include tables or figures that make the information easy to understand. Transcendental Meditation in Criminal Rehabilitation and Crime Prevention does not merely provide the theory behind this remarkable approach to rehabilitation. This remarkable volume emphasizes the practical value of the programs it describes and shows how they can be effectively put to use in a variety of settings.
