Synopsis
Key Issues in Corrections is a fascinating book that critically analyzes the most important challenges affecting the correctional system in the United States. Jeffrey Ian Ross, an expert in the field, builds on his acclaimed book Special Problems in Corrections to examine both long-standing and emerging issues, grounding the discussion in empirical research and current events.
This fully updated edition integrates new scholarship, lawsuits, and the use of technology; introduces and evaluates new corrections policies and practices; and features two new sections, “The Privatization of Prisons” and “The Death Penalty,” as well as links to a companion website. Offering a no-nonsense approach to the problems faced by correctional officers, correctional managers, prisoners, and the public, this solutions-focused book will be a vital resource for students of criminology.

Review
“The updated and thoroughly revised book does an excellent job of analyzing the contemporary challenges in the field of corrections and suggesting meaningful and realistic solutions to them. Moreover, unlike standard textbooks, Key Issues in Corrections, because of the way it is researched, written, and organized is easy to build a course around. The problems and solutions approach will facilitate classroom discussion, and provide the opportunity to integrate supplementary articles that would allow for further reading.” (Rick Jones, Marquette University, coauthor of “Doing Time: Prison Experience and Identity Among First-Time Inmates”)
“This is one corrections textbook where the author takes the reader inside the fence and behind the wall and does not candy coat the truth. Ross writes with eyes wide open.” (Stephen C. Richards, University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh)
