This book will introduce you to a powerful, unique approach to offender rehabilitation and crime prevention.

Transcendental Meditation® in Criminal Rehabilitation and Crime Prevention provides the reader with a theoretical overview, new original research findings, and examples of practical implementation. With this book, you will explore what motivates people to commit crimes, with emphasis on stress and restricted self-development. Then you'll examine the results and policy implications of applying these consciousness-based techniques to offender rehabilitation and crime reduction.

Students' Attitudes, Perceptions, and Expectations Toward Instructional Technology in Higher Education

An examination of Everett M. Rogers’s (1995) Theory of the Diffusion of Innovations suggests that there is a positive relationship among students’ attitudes, perceptions, and expectations toward instructional technology in relation to the diffusion of innovations. Furthermore, the evidence shows that there is a very high correlation between acceptance of diffusion and students’ attitudes, acceptance of diffusion and students’ perceptions, and acceptance of diffusion and students’ expectations toward instructional technology. The relative advantage of an innovation can be influenced by social prestige, convenience, and satisfaction with an innovation.
