It uses various methods to seek the authentic voices of inmates, ex-prisoners, deported migrants and practitioners, drawing on an original study to examine factors that might help ex-prisoners more successfully transition from a prison environment to life within the community. Leslie also raises important questions about the Jamaican state's capacity to meet the needs of inmates, particularly as a large number of its citizens are subject to forced repatriation to their homeland by overseas jurisdictions due to their offending. Recidivism in the Caribbean provides a unique insight into institutional and community life in a post-colonial society, whilst linking practices theories of offender management. It will particularly appeal to criminologists and sociologists interested in tertiary crime prevention but also those interested in correctional policy and practice, punishment and deviance. 650 0 $a Recidivism $z Jamaica. 650 7 $a Recidivism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01091365 651 7 $a Jamaica. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211575 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Leslie, Dacia L. $t Recidivism in the Caribbean. $d Cham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, [2019] $z 9783030129071 $w (OCoLC)1099434600 830 0 $a Palgrave studies in race, ethnicity, indigeneity and criminal justice. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013414.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FCF62FE6083E11EABF3FA51A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
