While corrections has often misunderstood or overlooked the needs of returning offenders, the shortcomings of the institutions have a greater impact on women than on their male counterparts, particularly regarding the occurrence of social and medical problems, especially those related to mental health and substance abuse. Female Offenders and Reentry helps criminal justice students and practitioners see the full picture when considering the challenges faced by female offenders reintegrating into society.

Finally-a comprehensive text that covers all aspects of the challenges faced by female offenders in their reentry journeys. Featuring evidence-based research, current demographic and trend data, policy and best practices analyses, and in-depth case studies, this monograph provides insightful examinations of critical gender barriers to societal reintegration-transportation, housing, employment, issues of chronic illness and reproductive health, mental health and substance abuse disorders, and child reunification.-Rosemary Gido, Indiana University of Pennsylvania
The editors have put together a well-balanced collection of chapters that discuss in depth the multiple problems female ex-offenders face when returning to their communities. This text provides an excellent forum for discussion on the topic of female offenders and reentry that will leave students as well as policy makers and educators thinking about how they can effect change. -Danielle McDonald, Northern Kentucky University
In Female Offenders and Reentry, Carter and Marcum have expertly conveyed the challenges facing women as they work towards reestablishing a life outside of prison. This compelling and comprehensive text is essential to understanding the contemporary female reentry experience. -Ashley G. Blackburn, University of Houston-Downtown
