Introduction to Corrections: Policy, Populations, and Controversial
Issues provides students with a holistic introduction to
contemporary corrections practice and the opportunities and
challenges they are likely to face within their future professional
careers. The text is divided into three distinct units. Unit I
examines the evolution of contemporary corrections and philosophies
of punishment, correctional administration, probation and parole,
and reentry and reintegration. In Unit II, students learn about the
constitutional rights of incarcerated individuals, prison culture,
and correctional programming. Dedicated chapters explore the
characteristics of incarcerated female, juvenile, and vulnerable
populations-including LGBTQ persons, elderly persons, and
individuals who suffer from mental illness-as well as how these
characteristics can impact their incarceration experiences. The
final unit speaks to modern controversies in corrections such as
racial equity, wrongful conviction, the death penalty, and the
prison industrial complex. Throughout, case studies, discussion
questions, and application exercises facilitate greater student
learning and retention. Written to provide students with a solid
knowledge base within the discipline, Introduction to Corrections
is an ideal textbook for courses in corrections, administration of
justice, and criminal justice.
