The field of corrections comprises three distinct areas of study: 
institutional corrections (jails and prisons), community 
corrections (probation and parole), and intermediate sanctions 
(community service, boot camps, intensive supervision programs, 
home confinement and electronic monitoring, halfway houses,
day reporting, fines, and restitution). Intermediate Sanctions in 
Corrections is the first non-edited book devoted completely to 
intermediate sanctions systems and their individual programs. It 
begins with an overview of the background and foundation of 
intermediate sanctions programs and then describes in clear detail 
each program and its effectiveness. Caputo supports every point 
with thorough and up-to-date research. Jon'a Meyer, an expert on 
this field, contributes a chapter on home confinement.

    Aimed at students, scholars, and policymakers, Intermediate 
Sanctions in Corrections will be used in the many undergraduate 
criminal justice courses devoted to corrections and intermediate 
sanctions.
