"A very well-written but highly technical and detailed research monograph that will mainly be of interest to those criminology scholars studying what Morash calls 'gender-responsive probation and parole.' Recommended."--Choice, "The text is valuable in that it is the first in-depth comparison between traditional and gender responsive programming for post-incarcerated women. It is an excellent beginning."-Gender & Society, This book makes an important contribution in a field in which research and literature are quite sparse and would be particularly useful in courses on gender and criminal justice and forensic social work.

Morash's vital new study exposes the cost of such an approach while also documenting the importance of paying attention to women's unique needs if they are to succeed in staying crime free. It turns out addressing gender troubles (like domestic violence) and building on women's strengths (like relationships) actually means better services and lower recidivism. In an era that will see increasing numbers of criminalized women seeking services in the community, Women on Probation and Parole is a must read."--Meda Chesney-Lind, University of Hawaii at Manoa "Women on Probation and Parole is a much-needed addition to the research on women offenders, particularly women under correctional-community supervision. Based on multiple sources of data, Morash provides a nuanced, feminist-based portrait of women's lives on probation and parole in two adjacent counties with very different approaches to supervision. This is one of the most compelling books to be published recently on the challenges facing women offenders and their programming needs."--Darrell Steffensmeier, Penn State University, "A very well-written but highly technical and detailed research monograph that will mainly be of interest to those criminology scholars studying what Morash calls 'gender-responsive probation and parole.'

Synopsis
So far there has been very limited research on the effectiveness ofgender-responsive as compared to traditional supervision of womenfelons on probation and parole. This volume, based on extensivelongitudinal, qualitative data from probation and parole officers andfrom in-depth interviews with the women themselves, fills this gap. Merry Morash has based her study on data from two counties in thesame state that differed markedly in their approaches to supervision.Gender Responsive County emphasized identifying and meeting a widerange of needs unique or common to women offenders. Traditional Countyemphasized compliance with rules and similar treatment for women andmen. Within this comparative frame, Morash discusses life issues ofwomen offenders, including dangerous places where they live,relationships with partners and children, and reliance on a mix ofcriminal and prosocial support networks. She documents change anddemonstrates how a dedicated and innovative team of probation andparole officers apply a gender-responsive approach to produce positiveoutcomes for women addicted to drugs or dependent on destructive andabusive partners., So far there has been very limited research on the effectiveness of gender-responsive as compared to traditional supervision of women felons on probation and parole.

- u***u (723)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseCarefully packaged book- arrived wrapped in plastic bag and shipped in cardboard box. As a frequent book buyer I appreciate this as so many books are just crammed into a plastic shopping bag and sent on their way- sometimes always hanging out of the bag. I know that Midtown Book Seller books will arrive as described. Shipped promptly. I’d highly recommend them as a seller.
- 9***n (325)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExcellent experience with this eBay used book seller! The books arrived in perfect condition, as described, and their pristine condition exceeded my expectations. What impressed me most was the speed of shipping: the book arrived much earlier than expected. Furthermore, the packaging was careful and professional, ensuring the book arrived undamaged. Thanks a lot! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
- c***i (102)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook was in very good condition as described in the listing. It looked almost new, in fact, but the pages did have some yellowing around the edges, a sign of its age. The seller did an excellent job of wrapping and packing the book for shipment, which I greatly appreciate! He has earned his 100% feedback rating, I'd say. I'm extremely pleased with the seller and this transaction. Thank you!
