Students generally take this course because they are preparing for a career in the field, so they need to be aware of current policies and practices in community corrections. In addition, given the decarceration trend and the economics of seeking incarceration alternatives, this topic is increasing in popularity and importance. This text takes an applied and practical approach to understanding community corrections, as well as changing data and policies. It will aid in understanding the complexities of community-based corrections with up-to-date data on practice and effectiveness. Finally, its modular approach offers flexibility and versatility for instructors.
Justin C. Medina, Ph.D. is Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at Lycoming College and former probation/parole officer. He earned his doctorate degree in Criminal Justice from Temple University. He has published scholarly articles about decision making in community-based corrections and teaches a community-based corrections course to undergraduates. His teaching and research interests pertain to examining discretion in criminal justice processing and studying how perceptions and attitudes form about the justice system. Jillian L. Eidson, Ph.D. works at the Charleston Police Department in South Carolina improving practice and promoting research. Prior to serving in this role, she was a probation/parole officer and research director in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a dedicated "pracademic", she serves criminal justice agencies by helping them translate research into policy and procedure. Past research studies in which she has participated focused on risk-need-responsivity, cognitive-behavioral therapy, gang desistance, opioid use disorder, and probation and parole officer empathy. She holds a doctorate in Criminal Justice from Temple University.
