Abstract

ABSTRACT Over the past four decades, the field of community corrections has evolved considerably. The “tough on crime” movement of the 1980s propelled an increase across the board in justice-involved populations, one that has seen a slow descent in the last 13 years. This essay will trace the work of Edward J. Latessa – a scholar whose work helped redefine the field of community corrections. Ed’s mission has been to help agencies apply scientific knowledge to everyday practices by operationalizing the principles of effective intervention into practical strategies agencies can employ. He has accomplished this by producing work that has been pragmatic, evolving, and accessible to practitioners and policymakers. This essay explores the mechanisms Ed has used to help change the field of community corrections from one focused on monitoring and sanctioning, to using research-supported rehabilitative practices.

重新思考社区矫正

在过去的四十年里，社区矫正领域有了很大的发展。20世纪80年代的“严厉打击犯罪”运动推动了与司法有关的人口的全面增长，在过去的13年里，这一数字缓慢下降。本文将追溯学者爱德华·j·拉特萨的工作，他的工作帮助重新定义了社区矫正领域。Ed的任务是通过将有效干预的原则应用到机构可以采用的实际战略中，帮助机构将科学知识应用到日常实践中。他通过创作务实的、不断发展的、从业人员和政策制定者可以获得的作品来实现这一目标。这篇文章探讨了Ed用来帮助改变社区矫正领域的机制，从一个专注于监测和制裁，到使用研究支持的康复实践。

期刊介绍： Victims & Offenders is a peer-reviewed journal that provides an interdisciplinary and international forum for the dissemination of new research, policies, and practices related to both victimization and offending throughout the life course. Our aim is to provide an opportunity for researchers -- both in the United States and internationally -- from a wide range of disciplines (criminal justice, psychology, sociology, political science, economics, public health, and social work) to publish articles that examine issues from a variety of perspectives in a unique, interdisciplinary forum. We are interested in both quantitative and qualitative research, systematic, evidence-based reviews, and articles that focus on theory development related to offenders and victims.
