The Real Deal in Crime Control
(A Handbook for Community Corrections)

Are you seeking guidance in your community involvement efforts? This handbook will provide you with practical information from agencies and professionals who have successfully achieved a partnership beyond departmental boundaries and into the community.

You will be provided with examples of innovative programs and sample policies and practices that can be adapted to meet your agencies specific needs.

The book is presented in six key sections to help you put your ideas into action:

• Guiding principles provide a conceptual framework for program development and implementation that will lead to successful and long lasting relationships.
• Community involvement as an organizational value examines the Infrastructure necessary for successful community partnerships.
• Mobilizing the community presents methods for identifying community needs and tactics for turning the public's fear of crime into positive energy and action.

• Program highlights include articles written by community corrections practitioners about programs operating in their jurisdictions. These programs were identified through a national search and include both traditional and innovative methods for involving the community in community corrections.
• Community involvement resources conclude with a listing of organizations that can offer support and guidance to your community involvement efforts.
