Correctional services-which includes salaries and benefits for correctional officers-is the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Bureau of Prisons' (BOP) largest operational cost, and BOP has undertaken a number of initiatives to reduce costs. This book describes BOP's major costs and actions to achieve savings; assesses the extent to which BOP has mechanisms to identify additional efficiencies; and describes potential changes within and outside of BOP's authority that might reduce costs. This book also provides an overview of the federal prison population buildup, policy changes, issues and options

This research/analysis focuses on an empirical analysis of the practical criminal law and the success of suspended sentence. The foundation of the research form data sets from the Bundeszentralregister and the Erziehungsregister. About 120.000 German data sets of stayed prison sentences and stayed young offender sentences are analyzed under the following aspects: the sentence received and if the delinquent reoffends in a period of four years after their sanction. Characteristics of age, gender, nationality and perhaps an existing penal background as well as possible probation service are part of the analysis. Also discussed are connections between relapse and the revocation of the parole. Another chapter deals with the success of the suspended sentences compared to other penalties, i.e. fines and prison sentences up to two years. Die Untersuchung befasst sich mit einer empirischen Analyse der Strafrechtspraxis und des Erfolges von Verurteilungen zu ausgesetzten Freiheits- und Jugendstrafen, den sog. Bewährungsstrafen. Sie widmet sich damit einem Kernstück des modernen Strafrechts. Auf der Grundlage von Datensätzen aus dem Bundeszentral- und Erziehungsregister werden rund 120.000 zu aussetzungsfähigen Freiheits- oder Jugendstrafen Verurteilte aus dem gesamten Bundesgebiet hinsichtlich ihrer konkreten Sanktionierung im Bezugsjahr und einer etwaigen erneuten Straffälligkeit in einem vierjährigen Folgezeitraum untersucht. Besonderheiten hinsichtlich des Alters, des Geschlechts, der Nationalität und der im Register abgebildeten strafrechtlichen Vorgeschichte der Täter werden analysiert, ebenso eine etwaige Unterstellung unter Bewährungshilfe. Vortaten, Bezugstaten und Rückfalltaten werden delikts- und sanktionsspezifisch ausgewertet. Auch nach etwaigen Zusammenhängen zwischen Rückfall und Widerruf der Strafaussetzung wird gefragt. Überblicksartig werden Ergebnisse für einzelne Bundesländer mitgeteilt. Ein weiteres Kapitel befasst sich mit dem Erfolg der Bewährungsstrafen im Vergleich zu anderen, alternativ verhängbaren Sanktionen: den Geldstrafen und nicht ausgesetzten Freiheits- und Jugendstrafen bis zu zwei Jahren. Dabei wird auch problematisiert, ob ein derartiger Vergleich unter alleiniger Heranziehung von Bundeszentralregisterdaten sinnvoll ist.

The issue of minority ethnic groups' experiences of the criminal justice process, and in particular whether they are subject to disadvantageous treatment, has received much attention in recent years following high-profile events such as the publication of the Macpherson report in 1999 and the riots involving British-born Asian youths in northern towns in 2001. At the same time there has been a burgeoning body of research evidence about the needs and experiences of minority ethnic offenders, the behaviour of racially motivated offenders, and concern with 'What Works' to reduce recidivism by
