This book articulates how social science can be applied to inform improvements in correctional policy and practice across the criminal justice system. The chapters reflect an iterative collaboration between leading social scientists and criminal justice practitioners, and they offer practical summaries of empirically grounded guidelines for change. The chapters first provide a foundational overview of crime and incarceration in the U.S. and addresses key contextual factors that contribute to the problem of recidivistic violent crime. Basic principles of behavior modification, social learning, and correctional rehabilitation are clearly defined and then applied to institutional and community settings, and to both general offenders and those with complex needs (juvenile offenders and mentally disordered offenders) or complex risks (sex offenders). With a strong focus on improving interventions with individual offenders to reduce recidivism, this book aims to translate knowledge and research on “what works” into pragmatic recommendations for practitioners and policymakers.
