- Title
PRISONER REENTRY: BEYOND PROGRAM EVALUATION.
- Authors
LYNCH, JAMES P.
- Abstract
This article examines different aspects of prisoner release and reentry programs, focusing on their sociological impacts. The author suggests several problems that can arise in the use of these reentry programs, including funding for public awareness of these programs and societal reactions to these inmates once they are released. He states that the distribution of information pertaining to released inmates who were convicted of crimes against public safety, such as rape or kidnapping, must be managed carefully, and target groups for the receipt of this information must be defined.
