What Is Community Justice?

Past methods of probation and parole supervision have largely relied on caseworkers who monitor their clients as well as they can. But as numbers of clients increase studies indicate that this model is ineffectual. The time has come to significantly rethink the approaches to community supervision.This book addresses the specific ways of achieving these goals by presenting six case studies of probation programs that represent a practical side of the community justice ideal. What emerges is a provocative and enlightening new approach to the problems of probation and parole.
