May (criminal justice, Eastern Kentucky U.) and Wood (sociology, Eastern Michigan U.) offer new perspectives on the prison/probation "continuum of corrections" proposed by Morris and Tonry in Between Prison and Probation: Intermediate Punishments in a Rational Sentencing System (Oxford U. Press, 1990). Based on data collected by May and Wood over the past decade from convicted offenders in prison and in community-based sanctions, criminal court judges, probation and parole offices, and the general public, the authors question whether prison and probation define the upper and lower boundaries of a continuum of punishments. A "rational" sentencing system and continuum of sanctions developed by the criminal justice researchers and practitioners may not be effective if it is not seen in the same way by the criminal offenders it is meant to deter. For criminal justice students, scholars, and practitioners. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
