The criminal justice system now serves as the chief provider of health care services to a significant portion of society. This includes the provision of physical and mental health care for offender populations who require substantial health care resources. To date, little is known or understood with regard to how these services and programs are being delivered. This book addresses the gaps in our knowledge by presenting a range of studies detailing the daily practices that occur in places where criminal justice and public health systems intersect. This includes an assessment of sheriff agency emergency communication systems, a study of problem behaviours and health using a juvenile sample, the challenge of treating mentally ill prison inmates with note of important gender differences, the impact of case management on justice systems, and a review of substance abuse cessation programs among pregnant women currently serving probation and parole sentences. Also included is a policy piece in which the authors call for an integrated model that is neither criminological nor public health specific. These readings provide a range of empirical examples that highlight important successes and challenges facing the criminal justice and public health systems. They suggest that integration and partnerships represent the most efficacious means to reduce critical social problems such as violence, poor health, and criminality. This book was originally published as a special issue of Criminal Justice Studies.

Community Corrections: An Intersectional Approach provides students with a complete overview of the community corrections system and the nature of community corrections work. This textbook demonstrates how the consideration and application of an intersectional approach can increase the efficacy of supervision within an increasingly complex system.The textbook is organized into four distinct parts, which cover theoretical orientations and context, the functions of community corrections, those served by community corrections, and how to measure and support success. Opening chapters introduce community corrections and its complex nature, review various punishment philosophies, describe the theoretical approach of intersectionality, and examine key elements of the probation and parole systems. Additional chapters cover the daily activities of probation and parole officers, intermediate sanctions, correctional interventions, and how the social structure and categorizations of people by individual characteristics creates the potential for disparate treatment. Students learn how an intersectional approach can help those in community corrections better understand and serve diverse clients and vulnerable populations. Closing chapters cover recidivism, organizational culture within probation and parole agencies, and the importance of partnerships and evaluation for success. An essential resource, Community Corrections is an exemplary textbook for courses and programs in criminal justice, criminology, and corrections.
