Key Issues in Corrections is an engaging textbook critically analyzing the most important challenges affecting the correctional system in the USA.
Written by a highly respected expert in the field, and building on his best-selling book Special problems in corrections, it examines long-standing and emerging issues, grounding the discussion in empirical research and current events.
Updates to this edition include:
• Integrating new scholarship, lawsuits, and the use of technology
• The introduction and evaluation of new policies and practices
• New sections on “The Privatization of Prisons” and “The Death Penalty”
Primarily written for undergraduate students who have already had an introduction to the topic, the book offers a no-nonsense approach to explaining the problems of correctional officers, correctional managers, prisoners, and the public.
