| Description: |
This comprehensive introduction to corrections presents an incisive view of every aspect of corrections prompting students to think critically about the complex issues involved in responding to the current crisis in the U.S. correctional system. |
| Synopsis: |
Incorporating theory, research, and the most recent available data, the book takes a contemporary and issues-oriented approach as it explores the most interesting and progressive developments in correctional policy and practice. Students will come away with practical knowledge, as well as a framework for thoughtful analysis of a subject that can seem mysterious or impenetrable. In addition, the book covers subjects many corrections texts treat only minimally, including women in corrections, the death penalty, and special populations. Perhaps most importantly, the book offers a point of view on what is plaguing the American correctional system and a realistic look at the solutions that offer real promise. |
