Publisher: Haworth Press

The Journal of Offender Rehabilitation is an essential professional resource
for practitioners and researchers who work with the criminal population to
promote rehabilitation and recovery. Since its founding in 1976, the journal
has been the leading source of innovative original research on the dynamics
of recovery from a criminal lifestyle, examining the therapeutic,
educational, vocational, and social dimensions of rehabilitation.

The journalıs contributors always establish a clear connection between
research and practice in their examinations of the individual criminal
experience, presenting the latest information on what types of interventions
are needed and how cost-effective they are, how they can be best targeted
and implemented, and how the expense is affected by community factors.

The journal represents a wide range of academic and professional
disciplines, including criminal justice, sociology, social work, economics,
psychology, psychiatry, social service, and behavioral health. Contributors
from the United States and Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and
Europe, present research findings that can easily be applied to any
correctional social work setting.

Articles explore a variety of offender problem/resolution areas of interest,
including boot camps, offender education programs, diversion programs,
deviant sexual behavior, reintegration programs, anger therapy intervention,
therapeutic communities, and the relationship between religion and
rehabilitation.
