Out-of-Control Criminal Justice shows that our system of criminal justice is broken; it is out of control. The author writes that a research-based strategy is needed that builds on the insights of those who work within criminal justice or are affected by it. Such a strategy must entail continuous evaluation and improvement, so that what works can be expanded and what does not can be eliminated. Out-of-Control Criminal Justice identifies how systems problems plague our criminal justice systems. It then presents a comprehensive strategy for bringing these systems under control to reduce crime, to increase justice and accountability, and to do so at less cost. The strategy can be used, too, to create greater responsiveness to victims and communities, effectiveness in reducing racial and ethnic disparities, and understanding of the causes and consequences of crime. After describing this new approach, the book identifies the tools needed to implement a systems solution to create a safer and more just society.

Understanding and Improving Prisoner Reentry Outcomes Prisoner Reentry is an engaging and comprehensive examination of prisoner reentry and how to improve public safety, well-being, and justice in the “era of mass incarceration.” Renowned authors Daniel P. Mears and Joshua C. Cochran investigate historical trends in incarceration and punishment policy, the salience of in-prison and post-prison contexts and experiences for reentry, and the importance of understanding group differences in offending, punishment, and social context. Using extensive reliance on both theory and empirical research, the authors identify how reentry reflects criminal justice policy in America and, at the same time, has profound implications for crime prevention and justice. Readers will develop a diverse foundation for current policies, identify the implications of reentry for families, community, and society at large, and gain a conceptual and empirical toolkit for analyzing and improving the lives of those released from prison.

This report outlines a comprehensive but flexible framework for assessing the performance of adult correctional programs in prisons, jails, probation, parole, and community-based facilities. The framework provided can be used with a variety of program activities, and acknowledges the fact that no single set of performance measures can be appropriate for all correctional programs. The first chapter gives definitions of terms and concepts, identifies how performance comparisons are used, and by who, and discusses the research underlying the framework. Chapter 2 places adult corrections within the context of the larger criminal justice system and discusses the goals and stages of organizational development that may affect the usefulness of particular performance measures. Chapter 3 identifies some of the issues and problems that must be addressed when establishing scope and focus for a measurement system, and developing performance measures. Chapter 4 and 5 consider more advanced issues – controlled experiments, interpretations of data, selection of benchmarks, etc.
