What Works (and Doesn’t) in Reducing Recidivism offers criminologists and students an evidence-based discussion of the latest trends in corrections. Experts Latessa, Johnson, and Koetzle translate the research and findings about what works and doesn’t work in reducing recidivism into understandable concepts and terms, presenting them in a way that illustrates the value of research to practice. Over the last several decades, research has clearly shown that rehabilitation efforts can be effective in reducing recidivism among criminal offenders, but it is clear that treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Offenders vary by gender, age, crime type, and/or addictions, to name but a few ways, and these individual needs must be addressed by providers. Finally, issues such as leadership, quality of staff, and evaluation efforts affect the quality and delivery of treatment services. While other texts have addressed issues regarding treatment in corrections, this text is unique in that it not only discusses the research on "what works" but also addresses the implementation issues faced as practitioners move from theory to practice, as well as the importance of staff, leadership, and evaluation efforts. This book synthesizes the vast research for the student interested in correctional rehabilitation as well as for the practitioner working with offenders.

She relates her struggles and daily battles of healing from resurfaced memories by sharing volumes of journals she wrote during her healing process, as well as the insights gained along the way. Johnson describes a family fa ade that appeared normal to everyone around them yet hid many secrets within their large family of ten. In Frozen Children, she introduces us not just to her inner child, but to a number of inner children, frozen in time to when each abuse transpired. This book also describes Johnson's awakening with the help of holistic healers as well as her own journey into metaphysics and understanding her own spirituality. It is Johnson's desire that others who have been victimized, along with their families, spouses, and significant others may find comfort and hope in her story of realization, struggle, fear, and finally triumph over her secret past.
