This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Case Study from the year 2017 in the subject Sociology - Law and Delinquency, , language: English, abstract: This study is intended to investigate determinants of operational plans implementation in Kenya Prisons Service in Nyeri County. The thematic focus is on prison population, rehabilitation, organization culture and organization resources. Towards achieving this, the study purposively targets a case of Nyeri Command in Nyeri County to form a basis for objective generalization. The county has four institutions: Regional office, Nyeri Main, Nyeri Medium and Nyeri Women Prisons that constitute a command in whose purview the target population of 582 members of staff is constituted. Sampling was conducted by proportional stratified sampling to generate ultimate respondents of 34 members of staff from the management and heads of sections whose views and opinions led to the study's generalizations. The relevant data was collected using questionnaires from 32 respondents representing 94.1% response rate out of the probable 34. Collected data was analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) to generate descriptive and inferential statistics. Determinants that influence operational implementation of strategic plans in Kenya Prisons Service at Nyeri Command were measured using linear and multiple regression analysis. The finding of the study indicates that inmates' population and resource availability had a positive and significant effect on implementation of operational plans in Kenya Prisons Service while rehabilitation programs and organizational culture had a positive but insignificant effect on the implementation of operational plans in Kenya Prisons Service. The researcher recommended that the government should come up with policies of addressing inmate population and mechanism of dealing with problems associated with increased level of inmates' population. In addition, Kenya Prisons Service should be fully facilitated by the government to offer various Rehabilitation programs ranging from vocation training, guidance and counseling, spiritual care and development among others, further the study recommends that government should allocate sufficient funding to the Kenya Prisons Service to enable them to be able to implement the operational plans effectively. The study suggested that future research could carry out a study focusing on the challenges that the Kenya Prisons Service encounters when implementing operational of strategic plans.

Download or read book What Works in Corrections written by Doris Layton MacKenzie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-07-17 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Works in Corrections, first published in 2006, examines the impact of correctional interventions, management policies, treatment and rehabilitation programs on the recidivism of offenders and delinquents. The book reviews different strategies for reducing recidivism and describes how the evidence for effectiveness is assessed. Thousands of studies were examined in order to identify those of sufficient scientific rigor to enable conclusions to be drawn about the impact of various interventions, policies and programs on recidivism. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were performed to further examine these results. This book assesses the relative effectiveness of rehabilitation programs (e.g., education, life skills, employment, cognitive behavioral), treatment for different types of offenders (e.g. sex offenders, batterers, juveniles), management and treatment of drug-involved offenders (e.g., drug courts, therapeutic communities, outpatient drug treatment) and punishment, control and surveillance interventions (boot camps, intensive supervision, electronic monitoring). Through her extensive research, MacKenzie illustrates which of these programs are most effective and why.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the primary constituents of stress in prison, and how can it be ameliorated? The specific conditions that create stress -- from the initial loss of freedom, to overcrowding, victimization and riots -- are described and analyzed. The effects of prison on specific populations: women, minorities, adolescents, and parolees, are also researched. Recommendations for long-term policy are made for maximizing the environmental resources of the prison, and improving classification and treatment. `...highly recommended for all professional and academic libraries. It is suitable for both upper-division undergraduate and graduate students in the areas of stress, psychology, penology, sociology, and criminal justice.' -- Choi
Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Global Rehabilitation in Criminal Justice written by Maurice Vanstone and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides a unique overview of rehabilitation as practiced internationally in criminal justice. Through the contributions of a diverse group that includes, among others, academics (some of whom are former practitioners), research students, a judge, and a probation chief, it reflects common features of criminal justice in different countries and documents their diversity and celebrates their vitality. In recent times the idea of ‘law and order’ has been expropriated by populist, authoritarian and doctrinaire regimes, almost always and nearly everywhere in the service of arbitrary and unjust rule. By and large this handbook does not include such regimes. But ‘law’ itself also has the capacity to constrain rulers, and ‘order’ in the form of social peace is a universally approved civic asset. In part, the book provides a counter-narrative demonstrating that although criminal justice dispositions such as probation, prisons, and parole can be represented as a ‘via dolorosa’, rehabilitation as illustrated in these pages can become a journey that leads by degrees towards the possibility of a better life. The handbook will be of interest to students, academics, practitioners, managers, policy makers and all those who wish to gain insight into the why and the how of rehabilitation in criminal justice systems across the world.

Book excerpt: This handbook aims to assist legislators, policymakers, prison managers, staff and non-governmental organizations in implementing international standards and norms related to the gender-specific needs of women prisoners, in particular the United Nations Rules for the Treatment of Women Offenders and Non-Custodial Measures for Women Offenders ('the Bangkok Rules'). It further aims to increase awareness about the profile of female offenders and to suggest ways in which to reduce their unnecessary imprisonment, including by rationalizing legislation and criminal justice policies, and by providing a wide range of alternatives to prison at all stages of the criminal justice process. The handbook forms part of a series of tools developed by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) to support countries in implementing the rule of law and the development of criminal justice reform.
Download or read book After Crime and Punishment written by Shadd Maruna and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of resettling ex-prisoners and ex-offenders into the community has become an increasingly important one on both sides of the Atlantic. In the USA the former Attorney General Janet Reno identified the issue as 'one of the most pressing problems we face as a nation' in view of the massive prison population and the rapid increase in rates of incarceration, while in the UK it has become an increasingly important issue for similar reasons, and the subject of recent reports by HM Inspectorate of Prisons and HM Inspectorate of Probation, as well as from the Social Exclusion Unit of the Home Office. Yet this issue has not been well served by the criminological literature, and the new policies and programmes that have been set up to address the problem have not been well grounded in criminological thinking. This book seeks to address the important set of issues involved by bringing together the best of recent thinking and research into desistance from crime, drawing upon research in both the UK and the USA, and with a distinct focus on how this might impact upon the design and implementation of ex-offender reintegration policy.
