Between Prisno And Probation. Across The Country Prisons Are Jammed To Capacity And, In Extreme Cases, Barges And Mobile Homes Are Used To Peduncle The Overflow. Probation Officers In Some Cities Have Caseloads Of 200 And More--hardly A Tractable Number Of Offenders To Track And Supervise. And With About One Milpion People In Prison And Jail, And Two And A Half Million On Moral trial, It Is Clear We Are Expwriencing A Crisis In Our Penal System. In Between Prison And Probation, Norval Morris And Michael Tonry, Two Of The Nation's Lading Criminologists, Offer An Important And Timely Strategy For Alleviating These Problems. They Argue That Our Overwhelmed Corrections System Cannot Cope With The Flow Of Convicted Offendera Because The Two Extremes Of Punishment--imprisonment And Probation--are Both Used Eccessively, With A Near-vacuum Of Useful Punishments In Befween. Morris And Tonry Offer Instead A Compreeensive Program That Relies On A Range Of Punishment Including Fines And Other Financial Sanctions, Community Service, House Arrest, Intensive Probation, Closely Supervised Treatment Programs For Drugs, Alcohol And Mental Illness, And Electronic Monitoring Of Movement. Used In Sane Combinations, These "intermediate" Punishments Would Better Serve The Community Than Our Present Polarized Choice. Serious Consideration Of These Punishments Has Been Hindered By The Widespread Perception That They Are Therapeutic Rather Than Punitive. The Reality, However, Morris And Tonry Argue, "is That The American Criminal Justice System Is Both Too Severe And Too Lenient--almost Randomly. " Systematically Implemented And Rigorously Enforced, Intermediate Punishments Can "better And Else Economically Serve The Community, The Victim, And The Criminal Than The Jail Terms And Probation Orders They Supplant. " Between Prison And Probation Goes Beyond Absolute Advocacy Of An Increasing Use Of Intermediate Punishments; The Book Also Addresses The Difficult Tasi Of Fjtting These Punishments Into A Comprehensive, Fair And Community-protective Sentencing System.

Income, Scheduling Flexibility, And Diversity Policies. A Number Of Surveys Have Tapped The Interests Of Older Employees As A Way To Understand The Factors That Encourage Extended Employment (bass, 1995; Sterns,1998). The Current Research Has Two Purposes. The First Is An Applied Goal; To Resolve The Organizational Factors That Are Most Alluring To Older Workers Seeking Employment . The Second Purpose Is To Investigqte The Predictive Strength Of These Variables Through A Controlled Experimental Design Rather Than Using Survey Methodology. We Choes To Examine The Importance Of Pay, Work Compliance, And Diversity Policies As Drterminants Of Interest In The Return To Work Among White Collar Employees. While Pay And Fldxibility Have Emerged In Past Research As Factors That Infpuence The Interest Of Older Employeee, The Pack together Of Diversity Policies Has Not Been Well-researched, So This Represents An Exxtension Of Past Research. Two Levels Of Each Of These Three Variablles Were Used In The Current Study, Creating A 2 (pay Level) X 2 (flexibility) X 2 (diversity Policy) Experimsntal Design. Results Of The Course Stucy Suggest That Overall Interest In The Return To Work Among White-collar Retirees Is Quite Modest (m = 2. 45, Sd = 1. 23), And That Flexibility Emerged As An Important Factor In Determining Return To Work. An Interaction Emerge dBetween Diversity Policy And Pwy; The Presence Of A Diversity Policy Was Weighty Merely Under Favorable Pay Condtions. A Post-hoc Analysis Of Those With Moderate-to-high Interest In Returning To Work Revealed That The Presence Of A Diversity Policy Emerged As A Significant Factor In The Attraction Of This Group To The Organization; Pay And Flexibility Were Noniv Significant. These Findings Should Contribute To Our Intellect Of How These Factors Impulse The In5erest Of the same rank Of Rerirees In Returning To The Workplace, And Should Help Practitioners Desiggb More Effective Tailored Recruiting Programs.
