Improving the Odds: Women in Community Corrections
Publication year:
2004
| Cataloged on:
Oct. 31, 2006
ANNOTATION: "This paper explores a model for increasing women's prospects for success in the community -- whether they are there as an alternative to incarceration (probation or other intervention) or after incarceration (parole or other form of reentry)" (p. 2). Topics discussed include: our collective yearning for the silver bullet; a matrix instead; using the matrix to think about reentry; the importance of understanding trauma when working with women; the importance of relationships to women; the importance of simultaneous activity participation over sequential; understanding the importance of children to women under supervision; and the opportunity to operate more effectively.
