Take a look at the American corrections system from the perspective of the corrections worker and the offender
in AMERICAN CORRECTIONS. Comprehensive yet not overwhelming, the textbook covers both institutional and community
sanctions in a balanced way. High-profile corrections cases taken from recent headlines dramatize real-life situations.
You'll explore topics such as assisting felons during the re-entry process, reducing recidivism, the death penalty,
surveillance, and careers in corrections.
