5 Preface When the first edition of Corrections in the Community was written, the field was experiencing unprecedented incarceration rates, and prison construction and populations were expanding at an alarming rate. Much of what was done in community corrections followed the theme of getting tough with crime and offenders. Intensive supervision without treatment, boot camps, shock incarceration and other sanctions were all tried, with little success in changing offender behavior. Since that time, much has changed. New prisons are not being built, and the prison population is actually in decline. We have also learned a great deal about how to more effectively improve the programs and services we offer our correctional population. Many of these programs operate in the community and we believe that the field is moving away from risk management to one of risk reduction identifying those most in need of programs and supervision and targeting those criminogenic needs of offenders to actually reduce recidivism rates. Of course, to do that effectively we need to understand what the research and data tells us about designing and implementing evidence-based practices. A great deal of this edition addresses these important topics risk assessment, improving supervision practices, using data to measure performance and outcomes, and following some empirically derived principles that will allow the system to be more effective and humane, and less costly. Writing a book on a topic as broad and dynamic as community corrections is a very difficult task. It is extremely hard to know when to stop. The field is changing rapidly and, as a result, information and data are quickly outdated. We believe that we have pulled together some of the most recent and salient information available; however, we accept responsibility for any errors or shortcomings. There are several caveats we would like to make concerning this book. First, as with prior editions, there are a great many charts and tables with data. Memorizing the numbers is not important, as they change daily. What is important are the trends over time. We want students to see patterns of what is happening in community corrections and to use this information to critically think about the issues facing the field. Second, we recognize that students are not always interested in the historical aspects of a subject, and we have tried to keep that material to a minimum; however, we also believe that is important to understand where we came from and some of the reasons we do things the way we do in corrections. We have also provided key words, review questions, boxed material, and recommended readings to help highlight information that can help the student navigate the book and to better identify some of the key concepts and ideas. In today s world, we have seen an information explosion, and it is easy to find resources to learn more about virtually every topic in
6 this book. We encourage students to be inquisitive and to seek out additional information that can advance their knowledge and understanding. Third, we have added some new material. Drug and other problem-solving courts are now found in every state, and we felt it was important to expand our discussion of this important movement. It represents a new way to deal with some of the problems that face our citizens, be it substance abuse, or reentry to the community from prison. These innovations have changed how many courts and communities view the problems that millions of Americans face. More importantly, they also demonstrate that we do not have to always rely on incarceration, and that many of our solutions to the crime problem can be found in the community, especially when various parts of the system work together to seek solutions. Fourth, you will also become aware of our bias. We believe that we still incarcerate too many of our citizens, that this is not good social policy, and that many can be supervised in the community without seriously jeopardizing public safety. We believe that much public treasure is wasted and human misery increased while incarcerating low-risk offenders. As our good friend Frank Cullen often says, we are liberal, not stupid. We recognize that some offenders those who are violent and would likely cause serious harm to others belong in prison. We do not believe, however, that all or even a majority of the nearly two million or so incarcerated fit that description. Finally, while probation and parole practices are often slow to change, we do not believe this has to be the case. In just a few short years we have seen more and more agencies and programs move toward evidence based practices, and if there is one theme to this book it is that we can indeed use research to improve the field and ultimately the lives of those who come into contact with the correctional system. While there is little doubt that change is slow and that old ideas persist, we also believe that the future of community corrections is bright and filled with promise. It is hoped that the instructors and students that use our book will find the subject of community corrections as interesting and stimulating as we do. Edward Latessa & Paula Smith Cincinnati, Ohio
