The Third Edition of Corrections: A Text/Reader provides students
with the best of both worlds-a brief authored text accompanied by
carefully selected and edited readings. Clear explanations of all
of the major course topics help students understand the impact of
new directions and policy in corrections. Policy-oriented original
research articles demonstrate how research drives these advances.
Designed throughout to enhance understanding, the book includes a
helpful "How to Read a Research Article" section before the first
reading, as well as article introductions, photographs, and
discussion questions that capture students' interest and help them
develop their critical thinking skills. New to the Third Edition
Nearly 75% of the journal articles have been updated to introduce
students to current research on important topics such as racial and
ethnic disparities in probation, influences on inmate misconduct,
transgender prison inmates, and lethal injection protocol. Updated
and expanded coverage of ethical considerations, special
populations, and the history of corrections provides students with
the context for understanding policy decisions and their
consequences, both past and present. New Sections on Ethics
(Section IV) and the Death Penalty (Section XVI) offer students
insights into key issues in corrections today. More coverage on
disparities in sentencing and drug courts encourages students to
think critically about U.S. drug policies and their effectiveness.
Additional content on federal procedures and private prisons shows
real examples of private prisons, their profit motives, and the
effect they have on the correctional system. The most current data,
facts, statistics, and research are included throughout the book to
provide students with insights into the world of corrections today.
