Acknowledgments

I would like to thank the authors of the chapters in this volume. Their expertise and commitment to understanding the prisoner reentry process is unparalleled. I believe their contributions to this volume will have a profound impact on how we understand and conceptualize prisoner reentry and how we should proceed to make sure prisoner reentry efforts are rooted in the best scientific evidence available. I dedicate this book to the memory of my brother – Milan Stojkovic – a police officer for 31 years with the Milwaukee Police Department, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. I wish to extend my gratitude to Ms. Stephanie Carey for her support and probing queries. I am sure the book is a much better product due to her diligence and efforts.
