The field of corrections comprises three distinct areas of study: institutional corrections (jails and prisons), community corrections (probation and parole), and intermediate sanctions (community service, boot camps, intensive supervision programs, home confinement and electronic monitoring, halfway houses, day reporting, fines, and restitution). Intermediate Sanctions in Corrections is the first non-edited book devoted completely to intermediate sanctions systems and their individual programs. It begins with an overview of the background and foundation of intermediate sanctions programs and then describes in clear detail each program and its effectiveness. Caputo supports every point with thorough and up-to-date research. Jon'a Meyer, an expert on this field, contributes a chapter on home confinement. Aimed at students, scholars, and policymakers, Intermediate Sanctions in Corrections will be used in the many undergraduate criminal justice courses devoted to corrections and intermediate sanctions.
Gail Caputo holds a Ph.D. in criminal justice from Rutgers University. She has worked as a senior research associate at the Vera Institute of Justice in New York and currently teaches at Rutgers University in Camden, New Jersey.
Caputo fills a gaping hole in the literature on corrections and criminal justice. Truly path-breaking. - Bradley S. Chilton, University of North Texas
