Why Do They Kill?
Men Who Murder Their Intimate Partners
This book is the first American study of domestic homicide to include in-depth interviews with killers, and it yields some important insights. Adams painstakingly examines the lives of men who kill their intimate partners and identifies five different types of wife killers, each with distinctive patterns of behavior within intimate relationships, including how they meet and woo women, what they expect of intimate partners, how they respond to resistance, and ultimately, what motivates them to kill. Detailed case examples are used to illustrate key patterns of abuse, escalation, and punishment.
The author also interviewed victims of attempted homicide, who “stood in” for the murder victims and offered a critical perspective as those who survived shootings, stabbings, and strangulations.. (288 pages)

Tales of the Caseload
Tales of the Caseload is a series of narratives based on fact and immersed in fiction. The stories combine humor and seriousness, attempting to entertain and educate. This book is designed to provide a satirical learning experience for probation and parole officers and to feed the public’s curiosity about the everyday accounts of community supervision.

The tales border on fiction only in the sense that names have been changed and dialogue has been altered. In some instance, we have fictionalized direct quotes because we simply cannot recall the actual statements. Even though some part of each of the stories is fiction, the main body of the text is based on fact. (159 pages)

When Prisoners Come Home: Parole & Prisoner Reentry
In 2003, well over half a million jailed Americans will leave prison and return to society. Largely uneducated, unskilled, often without family support, and with the stigma of a prison record hanging over them, many if not most will experience serious social and psychological problems after release.
Not surprisingly, the great majority is rearrested, most within six months of their release. What happens when all those sent down the river come back up – and out?
Drawing on dozens of interviews with inmates, former prisoners, and prison officials, Joan Petersilia convincingly shows us how the current system is failing, and failing badly. Unwilling merely to sound the alarm, Petersilia explores the harsh realities of prisoner reentry and offers specific solutions to prepare inmates for release, reduce recidivism, and restore them to full citizenship, while never losing sight of the demands of public safety.
