Master the Probation Officer/Parole Officer, 7rd edition
Hy Hammer

Arco, 2006

Don't waste your money
Do not waste your money on this book! I ordered this piece of junk hoping that it can help me on the probation officer exam. However, instead of helping me, this book actually hurt me. The book had nothing to do with the probation officer exam. In fact, the exam ...

Drama City
George P. Pelecanos

Grand Central Publishing, 2006

Very good, very interesting
I've now read three books of Mr. Pelecanos. This is the first book of his that I've read that doesn't have a Greek protagonist, and it's also the first one that doesn't involve a restaurant. I wondered how this would go, and now I know: it went quite well, and I ...
  
  











  



  
Life Without Parole: Living in Prison Today
Victor Hassine

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

truth
Life without Parole is an inmate's account of life at Graterford prison in Pennsylvania. It is a view of prison as he knew it. I would never expect the guards nor the administration to publicly admit to the goings on at Graterford during the time the author was ...
  
  











  



  
Paroles
Sally Sieloff Magnan, Laurey Martin-Berg, ...

Wiley, 2005

A balanced book for beginners
I was very favorably impressed with the organization and variety of this book, as well as the fact that it accommodates the different styles of learning among students. French is my sixth language (counting English). This text follows several parallel learning ...

Probation, Parole, and Community Corrections (4th Edition)
Dean J. Champion

Prentice Hall, 2001

Excellent, current textbook
As an adjunct professor at the University of Central, I use this book for supplemental materials for my class (it was too late in the semester to order for the main text). The up-to-date, detailed information is accompanied by review questions that open floor ...
  
  











  



  
Probation/Parole Officer Exam (Probation Officer/Parole Officer Exam (Learning Express))
LearningExpress Editors

LearningExpress, LLC, 2007

Learned quite a bit
I bought this book to study for a Probation Officer test. The basic skills practice was good enough for practice. The surprising thing about this book was what I learned about parole and probation. I became genuinely interested in the book and took all the tests. ...
  
  











  



  
Paroles (French Edition)
Jacques Prevert

Gallimard Education, 1989

Prévert is one of the truly gifted poets of this century
Jacques Prévert is able to communicate so much by saying so little. His poems are simple yet somehow manage to touch people on levels much deeper than one would think. To not have experienced Prévert is to have truly missed out on one of the truly gifted poets of this ...
  
  











  



  
No Parole Today
Laura Tohe

West End Press, 1999

Must read!
Laura is an excellent storyteller, I couldn't put the book down. Very sad what we inflicted on America's native people. How arrogant we are to think our way and our religion is better than theirs. I shutter to think this was still happening until recently. To destroy ...
  
  











  



  
Racehoss: Big Emma's Boy
Albert Race Sample

Ballantine Books, 1985

a light in the darkest dwelling of the soul...
I am looking for this book which is now out of print I believe. Ordinarily I might overlook this subject matter... but, I was listening to NPR's Diane Rehm 25th anniversary show, in which she played various excerpts of past programs. Diane prefaced... "and the most ...
  
  











  



  
Gangs, Prisons, Parole $ The Politics Behind Them
Bobby Delgado

Crown Oak Press, 2007

A voice rarely heard
A voice rarely heard speaking on the subject speaks out on America's prison systems - a prisoner himself. "Gangs, Prisons, Parole: The Politics Behind Them" is his message, and surprisingly, it isn't what you'd expect from a Texas convict. Speaking intellectually, he ...
  
  











  



  
The Offender in the Community
Todd R. Clear, Harry R. Dammer

Wadsworth Publishing, 2002

A thoroughly modern approach to community-based corrections, this comprehensive and logically-organized book presents in a balanced fashion all the alternatives to institutionalization, including electronic monitoring, house arrest, drug courts, boot camp, and fines. The book also emphasizes the human aspects of this growing field.
