Book Description
This book aims to make the case for and provide some of the resources necessary to reimagine rehabilitation for twenty-first-century criminal justice. Outlining an approach to rehabilitation which takes into account wider democratic processes, political structures and mechanisms of resource allocation, the authors develop a new model of rehabilitation comprising four forms – personal, legal, social and moral. Personal rehabilitation concerns how individuals make their journeys away from offending and towards reintegration and how they can be supported to do so, whilst legal rehabilitation concerns the role of the criminal courts in the process of restricting and then restoring the rights and status of citizens. Moral rehabilitation is concerned with the ethical basis of the interactions between the individual who has offended and the people and organisations charged with providing rehabilitative services. Social rehabilitation explores the crucial contribution civil society can make to rehabilitation, exploring this through the lens of citizenship, community and social capital. Drawing on the conceptual insights offered in the late Stan Cohen’s seminal work – Visions of Social Control – and specifically his insistence that modern social institutions can aspire to doing good and doing justice, the authors argue that these values can underpin a moral pragmatism in designing social interventions that must go beyond achieving simply instrumental ends. Reimaging rehabilitation within the context of social action and social justice, this book is essential reading for students and scholars alike, particularly those engaged with criminal justice policy, probation and offender rehabilitation.

Book Description
A handbook for Parkinson's patients, their families, for health workers, for society; an in-depth letter, a psychological essay, a beautiful and sparkling tale of poetry; at times personal confessions, at others, a call for attention to society's treatment of disability and the disabled... It is also the clearest example of how written words heal. Rebirth at 50 is all this and much more.Though still barely aware of the adventure that would require her to deploy all her resources, the author constantly transforms enemies into challenges, opportunities for growth. Does she know what the ultimate destination is? Not for sure, but I feel she cares little as long as the aim is the day, the now, the most immediate present. To reject the future in favor of the present day is perhaps the most exquisite temporal bet that we can make. Lucid, tender, profound and social, this book immersed me in her intimacy and also in the society's kitchen, where both compassion and prejudice are cooked; the warm hand as well as bewilderment towards others ́ illness; service as ignorance and superstition.What good did Parkinson's bring me? asks Florencia. A new purpose in life. Or maybe the purpose of her life, that embraces and puts us all in front of a mirror in the most loving, honest, and transparent way.What good did Florencia's Parkinson's bring us? A book that deserves worldwide distribution, as the dramas that its pages reveal are universal. A door to the intimacy of Parkinson ́s patients, hundreds of questions, the responsibility to find answers and act accordingly; it brought us a sincere, raw, warm story; the certainty of being in front of someone who, before the disease, perhaps didn't recognize her literary gifts or her power for resilience, to rebirth.

Book Description
Inner city communities in the US have become junkyards of dreams, to quote Mike Daviswastelands where gangs package narcotics to stimulate the local economy, gunshots occur multiple times on any given day, and dreams of a better life can fade into the realities of poverty and disability. Laurence Ralph lived in such a community in Chicago for three years, conducting interviews and participating in meetings with members of the local gang which has been central to the community since the 1950s. Ralph discovered that the experience of injury, whether physical or social, doesn t always crush dreams into oblivion; it can transform them into something productive: renegade dreams. The first part of this book moves from a critique of the way government officials, as opposed to grandmothers, have been handling the situation, to a study of the history of the historic Divine Knights gang, to a portrait of a duo of gang members who want to be recognized as authentic rappers (they call their musical style crack music ) and the difficulties they face in exiting the gang. The second part is on physical disability, including being wheelchair bound, the prevalence of HIV/AIDS among heroin users, and the experience of brutality at the hands of Chicago police officers. In a final chapter, The Frame, Or How to Get Out of an Isolated Space, Ralph offers a fresh perspective on how to understand urban violence. The upshot is a total portrait of the interlocking complexities, symbols, and vicissitudes of gang life in one of the most dangerous inner city neighborhoods in the US. We expect this study will enjoy considerable readership, among anthropologists, sociologists, and other scholars interested in disability, urban crime, and race."

Book Description
During the past decade or more, there has been a rapid evolution of mental health services and treatment technologies, shifting psychiatric epidemiology, changes in public behavioral health policy and increased understanding in medicine regarding approaches to clinical work that focus on patient-centeredness. These contemporary issues need to be articulated in a comprehensive format. The American Association of Community Psychiatrists (AACP), a professional organization internationally recognized as holding the greatest concentration of expertise in the field, has launched a methodical process to create a competency certification in community psychiatry. As a reference for a certification examination, that effort will benefit enormously from a comprehensive handbook on the subject.
