By Jeanne B. Stinchcomb

"Jeanne Stinchcombâe(tm)s book makes an excellent contribution to the field of corrections serving as a substantial resource for those teaching corrections and as a practical inspiration for those students who will ultimately lead the profession. Stinchomb carefully crafts a balanced perspective that presents a powerful argument for why corrections is an important and necessary part of our criminal justice system while at the same time cautioning that justice can only be served when corrections is implemented with integrity and held to the highest of professional standards....This book will dare those who care about corrections to move beyond the ease of accepting the status quo to optimistically embracing the greater challenges of implementing a just and effective system of corrections." âe" Faith E. Lutze, Ph.D., Washington State University

BY David E. Duffee

This lively, comprehensive text is an introduction to the field of corrections. It reviews the legal, philosophical, and ideological basis for the use of the criminal sanction. Special attention is given to (1) the historical development of current policy and constraints, (2) the treatment of racial and ethnic minorities, (3) the structure dynamics of correctional organizations, and (4) current empirical social science findings about the state of correctional practice. Twenty-two fictionalized case studies introduce each chapter, reflecting actual events, problems, and discussions occurring in correctional organizations. These cases also provide lead-ins to chapter themes, and show students the practitioners' point of view. Boxed inserts are used to provide additional coverage of important books, points of view, and programs.
