Drawing on a wide range research literature, this is both a clear and informative synthesis of thinking on a pressing problem and an important contribution to the wider debate about how society should deal with crime and criminals.

As the UK and many other western societies face up to the consequences of a rapidly increasing prison population, so the search for alternative approaches to punishment and dealing with offenders has become an increasingly urgent priority for government policy and society as a whole. This book reports the results of the research programme commissioned by the Coulsfield Inquiry into Alternatives to Prison, which was funded by the Esmée Fairbairn 'Rethinking Crime and Punishment' initiative. It is written by leading authorities in the field, and provides a comprehensive, authoritative and wide-ranging review of the range of issues associated with the use of noncustodial sanctions, examining experiences in Scotland and Northern Ireland as well as England and Wales.

The detrimental effects of imprisonment have been documented and accepted in most western countries. As a result, alternatives to incarceration have been sought in the effort to reform the penal system. Although during the last thirty years several Nordic official committees have recommended a reduction in the use of jail sentences and an increase in other forms of punishment (i.e. fines and probation) in the hope of decreasing crime and rehabilitating criminals, incarceration rates have been going up in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. Still, the interest in alternatives to imprisonment continues to grow, but few studies have actually been published that examine their effectiveness.

The United States has almost three times as many prisoners as it did just twenty-five years ago. Although the cost of keeping people in prison is rising, there are less expensive alternatives that may also be more effective at keeping people from returning to jail after they are released. Recent changes in the U.S. criminal code allow judges more freedom to give sentences other than prison.Of the almost seven million convicted criminals in the U.S., only about two million of them are behind bars. The rest nearly five million are serving alternative sentences. This book explores the various prison alternatives from rehabilitation and community service, to boot camps, day reporting, and house arrest. Prison Alternatives and Rehabilitation provides a comprehensive look at the advantages and disadvantages of nontraditional punishments and what the future may hold for alternatives to prison.PUBLISHER S NOTE: Each title in this series contains a foreword from the Associate Dean of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, color photos throughout, charts, and back matter that includes an index and further resource lists of books and Internet resources.

This Report details the over-representation of Aboriginal people in the criminal justice system. The rate of recidivism for Aboriginal offenders is a matter of serious concern. Aboriginal people are also dying in custody in increasing numbers. There have been 147 Indigenous deaths in custody since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, compared with 99 deaths in the previous decade. The Report considers whether legislation should contain special principles which would apply to the sentencing of Aboriginal offenders. It concludes that the existing common law principles of sentencing are sufficiently flexible to take account of the circumstances of Aboriginal offenders. The Commission's terms of reference specifically asked the Commission to consider whether there should be legislative endorsement.

The book focuses on one of the most problematic areas of Turkish penal justice: the overreliance on custodial measures and a corresponding growth in the prison population, and compares Turkey with two major European countries in this respect: England and Wales and Germany. The underlying question throughout the study is the extent to which prison alternatives can be seen as genuine alternatives to immediate custodial sentences.
