- Description
- The authors explore the social and individual implications of current policy and practice pertaining to women in the criminal justice system. Each chapter was originally presented at the 2005 Drugs, Women, and Justice Symposium, held on the University of Illinois at Chicago campus. Topics include: characteristics of drug-involved women in the criminal justice system: the negative impact on families of punitive drug laws and child welfare legislation: assessing and managing the service needs of children whose mothers have been arrested: influences of feelings of isolation on the course of rehabilitation: demographic differences between women in drug treatment and drug-involved women in the criminal justice system: service needs of women released from prison: a program developed for women who have survived traumatic violence, working in the street economy, and the criminal justice system: the direct and indirect impact of mass incarceration on women.
