Preview Handbook on the Consequences of Sentencing and Punishment Decisions
“This is the most authoritative volume available today covering the wide-ranging impacts of sentencing on individual, community, and societal outcomes about which we care deeply. With detailed reviews by top scholars, those who want to understand what we know about sentencing policy need go no further than this superb collection.” —Todd R. Clear, Distinguished Professor of Criminal Justice, Rutgers University “This volume is a tremendously thorough and nuanced analysis of the visible and hidden consequences of punishment and sentencing decisions. The articles explore not only the multi-faceted and wide ranging impacts from imprisonment but importantly and uniquely also include those that result from pre-trial detention, increasing privatization, and even restrictive housing policies. The impressive breadth of topics, all broadly falling under the rubric of mass criminal justice contact, in addition to specific policy proposals, make this essential reading for academics and practitioners alike.” —Michael Jacobson, Executive Director, CUNY Institute for State and Local Governance HANDBOOK ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF SENTENCING AND PUNISHMENT DECISIONS Handbook on the Consequences of Sentencing and Punishment Decisions, the third volume in the Routledge ASC Division on Corrections & Sentencing Series, includes contemporary essays on the consequences of punishment during an era of mass incarceration. The Handbook Series offers state- of-the-art volumes on seminal and topical issues that span the fields of sentencing and corrections. In that spirit, the editors gathered contributions that summarize what is known in each topical area and also identify emerging theoretical, empirical, and policy work. The book is grounded in the current knowledge about the specific topics, but also includes new, synthesizing material that reflects the knowledge of the leading minds in the field. Following an editors’ introduction, the volume is divided into four sections. First, two contributions situate and contextualize the volume by providing insight into the growth of mass punishment over the past three decades and an overview of the broad consequences of punishment decisions. The overviews are then followed by a section exploring the broader societal impacts of punishment on housing, employment, family relationships, and health and well-being. The third section centers on special populations and examines the unique effects of punishment for juveniles, immigrants, and individuals convicted of sexual or drug-related offenses. The fourth section focuses on institutional implications with contributions on jails, community corrections, and institutional corrections. Beth M.
