This book is a powerful advocate for the concept of second chances and the critical role of human services in communities most impacted by crime and the criminal justice system. It recognizes the inherent fallibility of humans and the need for redemption as the first step towards transforming our attitudes towards guilt and punishment. It goes against the unjust and counterproductive practice of barring citizens with criminal records from accessing housing, employment, education, and public benefits such as Medicaid and food stamps. The contributors to this volume strongly assert that second chances are a fundamental principle of the human services field.
They emphasize the importance of providing individuals with the support and resources they need to overcome past mistakes and build successful lives. By offering programs that address factors such as addiction, mental health, and job training, human services can help break the cycle of crime and promote social justice.
Furthermore, the book highlights the importance of community engagement and collaboration in addressing the root causes of crime. It emphasizes the need for policymakers, community leaders, and human services professionals to work together to create policies that promote equity, opportunity, and safety for all members of society.
In conclusion, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in promoting second chances and improving the lives of individuals and communities affected by crime and the criminal justice system. It provides a comprehensive and evidence-based approach to addressing the complex challenges facing these populations and offers a roadmap for building a more just and compassionate society.
