Title overview

Corrections is a clear, thought-provoking exploration of core concepts, the latest research and current events shaping criminal justice today. Built to be affordable without sacrificing academic rigor, its pedagogy moves you beyond memorization to true understanding. The text emphasizes how evidence-based practices are used in corrections. You'll think critically about community corrections, prison life and offender treatment.

The 3rd Edition includes seven new Voices in Corrections essays, written by former correctional practitioners or offenders. New graphics, figures and other elements flow with the text and illuminate hot-button issues.
