"PROS and CONS: New Roles for Nonprofessionals in Corrections" delves into the evolving landscape of the criminal justice system, exploring the potential benefits and drawbacks of integrating nonprofessionals into correctional facilities.

This insightful book presents a fresh perspective on how individuals without traditional professional backgrounds can contribute to the rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders.

Through a balanced analysis of the advantages and limitations of this approach, "PROS and CONS" encourages readers to consider new possibilities for enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of correctional practices. Whether advocating for community involvement, peer support programs, or alternative forms of supervision, this book sparks important conversations about the future of corrections.

With thought-provoking insights and thorough research, "PROS and CONS" serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, practitioners, and anyone interested in the ongoing reform of the criminal justice system.

FROM THE COVER: Here is a personal account of the wise ways used to restore maladjusted children to normal lives. Some years ago, the author was called to an institution for disturbed children to end a riot that had been raging for six weeks. How he succeeded and effected a gradual change both on the part of the children and of the adults in charge is the heartening story Dr. Slavson tells. A stirring narrative, the book is also a clear exposition of the use of group techniques, the tools of social casework, and modern psychiatric theory. It will serve as a guide to experts in the field and to the intelligent layman concerned with understanding disturbed children.

Edited by Jonathan Burnside and Nicola Baker. Foreword by Lord Woolf.

In the light of widespread disillusionment with current measures to tackle crime, this book takes up a neglected theme at the heart of justice: the need to repair relationships damaged by crime, particularly those between victims and offenders. Thirteen authors have come together to explore this theme bringing personal and professional perspectives to the argument. The essays challenge current thinking about the criminal justice system and are designed to encourage debate on the values underlying penal theory and practice. The book is aimed at informed practitioners but the Relational Justice reform dynamic will be of interest to all people who are concerned about crime and responses to it
