Author Lior Gideon takes a rehabilitative and reiterative approach to discuss and differentiate between the needs of these various categories of inmates, and provides in depth discussions-not available in other correctional texts-about the specific needs, risks and policy recommendations when working with present-day special needs offenders. Each chapter is followed by suggested readings and relevant websites that will enable readers to further enhance understanding of the issues and potential solutions discussed in the chapter. Further, each chapter has discussion questions specifically designed to promote class discussions. The text concludes with a theoretical framework for future policy implications and practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLior Gideon, PhD, \u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City. He specializes in corrections-based program evaluation and focuses his research on rehabilitation, reentry, and reintegration issues and in particular by examining offenders' perceptions of their needs.

To that extent, Dr. Gideon has published several manuscripts on these topics, including two previously published books on offenders needs in the reintegration process: \u003cem\u003eSubstance Abusing Inmates: Experiences of Recovering Drug Addicts on Their Way Back Home \u003c\/em\u003e(2010, Springer), and \u003cem\u003eRethinking Corrections: Rehabilitation, Reentry, and Reintegration\u003c\/em\u003e (with Hung-En Sung, 2011, SAGE). His other works were recently published in \u003cem\u003eThe Prison Journal\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eInternational Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology\u003c\/em\u003e, and the \u003cem\u003eAsian Journal of Criminology\u003c\/em\u003e.
