Download or read book Correctional Boot Camps written by Doris L. MacKenzie and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2004-02-20 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boot camps have developed over the past two decades into a program that incorporates a military regimen to create a structured environment. While some critics of this method of corrections suggest that the confrontational nature of the program is antithetical to treatment, authors Doris Layton MacKenzie and Gaylene Styve Armstrong present research knowledge and personal discussions with community leaders that offer insight into both the strengths and weaknesses of this controversial form of corrections. Correctional Boot Camps: Military Basic Training or a Model for Corrections? provides the most up-to-date assessment of the major perspectives and issues related to the current state of boot camps. The book goes beyond cursory examinations of the effectiveness of boot camps, presenting an in-depth view of a greater variety of issues. Correctional Boot Camps examines empirical evidence on boot camps drawn from diverse sources including male, female, juvenile, and adult programs from across the nation. The book explores empirical research on both the punitive and rehabilitative components of the boot camp model and the effectiveness of the "tough on crime" aspects of the programs that are often thought of as punishment or retribution, in lieu of a longer sentence in a traditional facility. Thus, offenders earn their way back to the general public more quickly because they have paid their debt to society by being punished in a short-term, but strict, boot camp. Correctional Boot Camps is a comprehensive textbook for undergraduate and graduate students studying corrections and juvenile justice. The book is also a valuable resource for correctional professionals interacting with offenders.

Download or read book What The Spirit is Saying to the Church written by Reverend Anthony Kelley and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What the Spirit is Saying to the Church is an apocalyptic view from the letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation that begins its message to the church admonishing her to return to her first love which she has abandoned. The author contends that this first love requirement demands a redirection of priorities for the Twenty-First-Century Church-in-the-Black-Experience. It demonstrates how, for the love of Christ, she must move beyond a limited vision of just a good-looking church and satisfaction with old definitions. Christ gives a rebuke to the church and a direct warning that if she does not repent and return to her first love, he will then remove her lampstand! "Reverend Kelley's preaching is spiritually sound and intellectually stimulating and challenging, and also socially relevant. He deeply believes in what I would call a well-rounded ministry. That is to say, that ministry for him involves not only mastering the preached Word, but also taking seriously and fulfilling the roles of pastor, priest, and prophet."-REV. DR. LEWIS V. BALDWIN, PHD, RETIRED PROFESSOR OF RELIGIOUS STUDIES, VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY. "Reverend Kelley is a preacher of the Word. His ability to prepare and deliver biblically sound, inspirational and spirit-filled sermons is a gift that allows those who hear him to participate in the story of salvation at personal and social levels. He is not a closed-lip babbler who preaches to itching ears, rather he speaks with power and authority under the watchcare of an humble spirit and a disciplined mind."-REV. DR. WALTER EARL FLUKER, PHD, MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. PROFESSOR OF ETHICAL LEADERSHIP, AND DIRECTOR OF THE HOWARD THURMAN INSTITUTE, BOSTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY.

Download or read book Delinquency and Juvenile Justice in American Society written by Randall G. Shelden and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is delinquency? What are the pathways to offending? What prevention strategies exist? To understand delinquency, we need to overcome stereotypical thinking and implicit biases. This engaging, affordable text explores the impact of gendered, racial, and class attitudes on decisions to arrest, detain, adjudicate, and place youths in the juvenile justice system. Shelden and Troshynski highlight the social, legal, and political influences on how the public perceives juveniles. They look at the influences of family and schools on delinquency, as well as the impact of gender, trauma, and mental health issues. Discussions of topics such as the school-to-prison pipeline, disproportionate minority contact, and inequality provide a nuanced perspective on delinquency—a critical examination of social policies intended to control delinquency and the populations most likely to enter the juvenile justice system. The authors also examine the dramatically declining juvenile crime rate and advances in neuroscience that have fostered substantive reforms. These alternatives to confinement are replacing the institutions that have repeatedly produced failure with rehabilitative programs that offer hope for a more promising future.

Download or read book Shadows written by Reverend Anthony Kelley and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-02-07 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to inform, enlighten, equip, and encourage servant-leaders and Christian workers who serve in the shadows of greatness in various forms of ministry to continue to serve with character, competence, commitment, and pride in the absence of accolades, appreciation, celebration, and recognition. The special ministries include Positive Youth Development for Boys and Young Men in At-Risk Situations, local church and faith-based organizations’ mission and outreach ministries, and especially a ministry in our nation’s jails and prisons. The motivation and inspiration for Part One of this book came through the author’s reflections of memorable life situations by several boys growing up on the south side of Chicago in the turbulent sixties and seventies who overcame tremendous odds for survival through their parallel faith journey and call to the ministry. It is designed to show how early foundation, formation, and understanding of character, civility, community, cooperation, coordination, competence, competition, and commitment can occur as young boys of color go from boys to men in the shadows of Berkeley Avenue in Chicago’s Kenwood-Oakland community. The motivation and inspiration for Part Two of this book are reflections of and learnings from evidence-based Christian Ministry in which the author has been engaged for nearly 50 years as a licentiate minister, 43 years as an ordained minister, 40 years as a Pastor and Teacher, and over 25 combined years as a Marion County, Indiana Commissioned Deputy Sheriff Jail Chaplain, Indiana and Louisiana State Prison Clinical Chaplain, Illinois State Director of Prison Fellowship Ministries, and 17 of those years as the Founder and former Executive Secretary (National Director) of the Prison Ministry and Criminal Justice Commission of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc., then representing 30,000 congregations, 61 State Conventions, and 7.5 million members.

This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 15 years, evidence-based practice in juvenile justice has moved from a concept to a full blown practice in a number of states. They have used research based principles and programs to: - completely reorganize their system for treating juveniles -reduce crime and recidivism -and saved money in the process. Evidence-Based Practice in Juvenile Justice describes the major players in this transformative process, the particular role they play in moving research to practice, and provides recommendations for applying this research in other locations. It will be of key interest to researchers in Criminology and Criminal Justice with a focus on Juvenile Justice or Juvenile Delinquency, or related fields such as Public Policy and Social Work, as well as policy-makers, and practitioners working in the juvenile justice system. ​
