Studies in Crime, Law, and Criminal Justice Ser.: House Arrest and Correctional Policy : Doing Time at Home by C. Ronald Huff, Richard A. Ball and J. Robert Lilly (1988, Hardcover)
Prison overcrowding has led criminal justice experts to seek viable options to incarceration. House Arrest and Correctional Policy considers one of these new approaches and raises important legislative and constitutional questions as well as social and psychological issues. The authors discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of house arrest, consider several specific programmes, evaluate research undertaken in various states and outline their own research.
