The second edition of Treating the Criminal Offender was written in an atmosphere of disillusionment and severe criticism of the traditionalist ap proach to treatment. As crime rates soared, the voices of the critics rose in volume and intensity. And so, this third edition-revised toward the end of the decade of the 1980s-embodies the shift in emphasis from rehabilitating the offender to protecting the community. This shift, in our opinion, does not reject the goal of changing the of fender so as to effect his reintegration into society; it uses the strategy of intensive supervision and surveillance only to effect the desired goal. The use of electronics to monitor the offender's whereabouts and the swift ap plication of punitive measures following. the awareness of any violation are extrinsic techniques of control. It is our opinion that for the deep, more lasting changes in behavior, some form of casework, counseling, and/or psy chotherapeutic intervention is essential. We are the cohorts who believe in the effectiveness of such treatment modalities when and if applied to the right target population at the appropriate time.

<p>You are trying to figure out how to wisely and safely grow your money. You are frustrated trying to get good advice. Some people say they want to help you, but they really want to help themselves to your money. Marketers present what appears to be neutral advice, but it is really biased advertising. Television “entertainers” pretend to be advisors in order to build their own following, often by spreading bad information.We live in an era when it is hard to get good, impartial, accurate financial information.We live in a world where marketers use psychological tools to penetrate your natural defenses.Your best strategy is to understand what you buy, and why you buy. Your best strategy is to be educated.I wrote this book so my I can share my learning, so that my children will learn, and so that my clients will have the basic information they need to make intelligent financial decisions based on a good understanding of their owns needs and the tools available to them.I became part of this industry because I was disappointed with the financial and insurance advice I got, and I because I am ethical, knowledgeable, and caring. I do not work for any company—I work with my clients’ best interests at heart. I have been involved in over 30 businesses in 45 years, most often as owner and entrepreneur. I’ve learned how important realistic planning is. I became a professional mentor because I realized just how much people can benefit from my experiences—business and personal. I write to teach. I sell insurance to make a living, and to make sure people get the right products for themselves. I mentor people to help them better develop their business skills and acumen. But most importantly, I mentor and advise people to help them draw out the best in themselves, so they can succeed, think independently, and make good choices.Other books by Louis Berlin:The Financial Fitne$$ Handbook: Making Your Money Outlast You (2011)Financial Fitness for Everyone: Important Knowledge for Acquiring Peace of Mind and Crucial Advice About Your Financial Future (2016)</p>
