Contemporary Corrections: A Critical Thinking Approach introduces
readers to the essential elements of the US corrections system
without drowning students in a sea of nonessential information.
Unbiased and accessible, the text includes coverage of the history
of corrections, alternatives to incarceration, probation/parole,
race/ethnicity/gender issues in corrections, re-entry into the
community, and more. The authors' unparalleled practical approach,
reinforced by contemporary examples, illuminates the role
corrections plays in our society. The authors have reinvigorated
earlier work with additional content on international comparative
data to increase our understanding of how prison officials in other
nations have developed different types of responses to the problems
that challenge every US correctional administrator, a new chapter
on correctional personnel, and an integration of race and ethnicity
issues throughout the book. Unrivaled in scope, this book offers
undergraduates a concise but comprehensive introduction to
corrections with textual materials and assignments designed to
encourage students' critical thinking skills.
