Corrections is an insider's guide to corrections today. It offers a practical understanding of the operations of corrections, drawing on the author's three decades of service in the system.
While each chapter includes a segment on history and theory, Seiter focuses on the challenges correctional workers face and the practical ways they respond to those challenges. Case studies, career information and real examples expose the realities of working in the field.
The 7th Edition reflects the most recent data on correctional populations, as well as new research impacting correctional policy. This edition has a new focus on the issue of racial disparity among clients of correctional agencies, and how correctional officials attempt to respond.
