Description: Offers an understanding of community sentences in relation to policy, practice and research. This book examines the role and function of community sentences, and how they challenge the framework of thinking about punishment in the criminal justice system.
Synopsis: "Understanding Community Penalties" provides a concise and critical understanding of community sentences in relation to policy, practice and research. These three contexts are a feature of the book, which takes a comprehensive approach informed by the authors' long involvement in this field. It begins by examining the role and function of community sentences, and how they challenge the framework of thinking about punishment in the criminal justice system. The book then traces the historical development of the theory and practice of community supervision, and shows what impact the first wave of research into its effectiveness has had on policy and practice.In the context of the penal crisis in recent years and the construction of crime as a political issue, a critical assessment is made by the authors of the achievements of, and problems facing, community sentencing. They address the questions facing sentencers, politicians, policy makers and practitioners. In all, this authoritative text will be essential reading for students of criminology and criminal justice, and an invaluable reference for researchers and practitioners in the criminal justice system.
