American Corrections : Concepts and Controversies Paperback / softback
by Barry A. Krisberg, Susan Marchionna, Christopher Hartney
Paperback / softback
Description
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.
