With a fresh set of interviews exploring cross-cultural differences
and similarities, Volume Three of this book includes lessons from
practitioners in a diverse array of countries including Honduras,
Japan, Lithuania, the Philippines, Thailand, the Slovak Republic,
South Africa, and the United States. This book series is based on
the premise that comparing countries around the world and getting
'inside' information about each country's correctional system can
be best derived by having people who are seasoned practitioners in
each country share their views, experiences, philosophies and
ideas. Since most correctional practitioners do not have the time
or inclination to encapsulate their experiences into a book
chapter, the insight of the practitioner can be best captured by a
revealing interview with a researcher given the questions and
interview guidelines associated with each chapter. Researchers
selected are scholars in corrections, will possibly have conducted
original research on the topic, and will have access to the
corrections officials in his or her country. Additionally, the
researcher exhibits a deep understanding and knowledge of his or
her country's correctional system, and questions will be derived
specifically from the laws and conditions present. Any current
crises or solutions will be able to have focused questions crafted
by each researcher, while still having each interviewer stay within
the topic areas that the general questions probe. Each researcher
explains any esoteric or unusual terminology used by the
corrections official, and defines any current issues necessary for
the reader's knowledge. While there are many books written on
corrections management, ethics, and practices, there is great value
in approaching international corrections practices and policies
from this unique vantage point and as a result this book will be of
interest to academics, researchers, practitioners and both
undergraduate and postgraduate students with an interest in
corrections and comparative criminal justice studies.
