Counseling Criminal Justice Offenders, Second Edition takes a practical view of offenders, their problems, and the difficulties counselors face working with them in criminal justice settings. Author Ruth E. Masters examines criminal justice counseling on an individual and group basis and in a variety of settings such as prisons, probation and parole agencies, diversion programs, group homes, halfway houses, prerelease facilities, and U.S. jails. The book also explores the many faces of offenders — young, old, male, female, and across many cultures. The Second Edition of Counseling Criminal Justice Offenders recognizes that individuals who counsel offenders in the criminal justice system often have not had the extensive training of a licensed psychologist and this text is designed to provide readers with an understanding of the counseling process. The book explores practical knowledge of legal principles, appropriate and effective counselor attitudes, and the past and present protocols of American corrections. Primarily designed for criminal justice students taking correctional counseling courses, Counseling Criminal Justice Offenders, Second Edition is also a vital resource for any Criminal Justice, Social Work, Psychology, or Counseling practitioner interfacing with offenders.

Readings in Rehabilitation Administration fills the gap in the training of human service administrators and managers. The selections reflect the growing needs, trends, and new requirements that directly affect the human services at both the national and local levels. This text meets the needs of those innovative educators who are responsive to the needs of students, the human resource field, and the disabled. While practitioners are well-trained in their field, many have little or no education or training for the management roles they assume. Readings in Rehabilitation Administration provides, for the first time, a curriculum content to prepare new administrators. The articles included cover a wide-range of not only current trends but "classic" topics which have passed the test of time. An extensive bibliography categorizes rehabilitation administration/management articles published during the past decade.
