handle is hein.journals/jccj34 and id is 1 raw text is: Editorial Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice 2018, Vol. 34(1)4 Introduction ©The Author(s) 2018 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1043986217752161 journals.sagepub.com/home/ccj OSAGE The age-old and capricious swing of the ideological correctional pendulum between an emphasis on punishment versus rehabilitation has not abated. The community cor- rections profession has made great strides in understanding principles for effective intervention-what works. Unfortunately, professional principles are often a second- ary consideration when it comes to the politics of criminal justice, in general, and corrections, in particular. The body of research known as what works is abundant and clear. Yet, transforming the evidence into policy and practice has been difficult. Some correctional jurisdic- tions have done a good job with bridging research evidence with practice. Many have not, and still others have embraced values and practices that are contrary to the what works principles for effective intervention. This edition offers diverse perspectives about changes that have and have not occurred in community corrections over the past 40 years. The hope is to offer insights into what is needed to enable probation, parole, and community corrections to fulfill its public safety mission through values and practices that are unique to the profession and therefore different from other functional components of the criminal justice sys- tem in America.
