• Sommario/riassunto: The Handbook on Risk and Need Assessment: Theory and Practice, the first volume in the ASC Division on Corrections & Sentencing Handbook Series, covers risk assessments for individuals being considered for parole or probation. Evidence-based approaches to such decisions help take the emotion and politics out of community corrections. As the United States begins to back away from ineffective, expensive policies of mass incarceration, this handbook will provide the resources needed to help ensure both public safety and effective rehabilitation of offenders.
