Description

This book promotes the notion of second chances and the importance of human services within the communities most affected by crime and the criminal justice system. Recognition of the fallibility of humans and the necessity of redemption is the first step to change our attitude toward guilt and punishment. Barring citizens with criminal records from obtaining housing, employment, education, and public benefits like Medicaid and food stamps is not only unjust but unproductive for a human society. The contributors to this volume argue that second chances are a foundational principle of the human services field. Review This book is a manual of compassion and restoration for human renewal in vulnerable communities. It makes an excellent and compelling case for why Human Service is more than ever before relevant in current societies that are affected by challenges that threaten daily human conditions. This book could not come at a better time for human service practitioners working in communities affected by crime and trauma. Every human service practitioner should read and treasure this book. Faculty in Human Service programs should ensure that their students reflect on this book.--Emmanuel Jean-Francois, Ohio University About the Author Fonkem Achankeng I, is associate professor at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Janet Hagen, is chair of the Human Services Leadership Department at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.
