And you could do anything you wanted with that money to make New York City safer and help people turn their lives around.

But what about the approximately 4 million more who are on probation and parole—monitored by the state at great expense and at risk of being sent to prison at the whim of a probation or parole officer for the least imaginable infraction?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eMass Supervision\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, Vincent Schiraldi combines firsthand experience with deep research on the inadequately explored practices of probation and parole. He illustrates how these forms of state supervision have strayed from their original goal of providing constructive and rehabilitative alternatives to prison. They have become, instead, what Schiraldi argues as a \"recidivism trap\" for people trying to lead productive lives in the wake of a criminal conviction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSchiraldi reveals how probation and parole, as extensions of incarceration, have little impact on crime rates and needlessly disrupt countless lives. Ultimately, he argues that they should be dramatically downsized or even abolished completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849546977516,"sku":"9781620978177","price":64.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3372423482765.jpg?v=1759050607"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/vincent-schiraldi.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
