About the Book

Introduction to Corrections provides students with an understanding of basic concepts in the field of corrections. It offers comprehensive coverage of both institutional and community corrections, with particular emphasis on the perspective of the practitioner. Students taking corrections classes often have wild misconceptions about prison work and the corrections environment - misconceptions typically derived from movies and the news, and even current textbooks. In this new text, Robert Hanser uses his own on-the-ground experience to colorfully explain how the corrections system actually works, and what's it's like to be a part of it.

Review :
I liked what I read and would be interested in seeing a copy of the completed text. It is very comprehensive in its coverage and should provide a wealth of information for those students who are genuinely interested in corrections. The pedagogical features are well-done and truly add some value to the topics. I can t imagine any further embellishments on these. Also, the chapter organization is one of the best I have seen. Michael Montgomery, Tennessee State University--Michael Montgomery I think the text is great! I would seriously consider adopting the text for my course. It is very thorough, covers the right topics, and is well-written. I am excited to see the finished product! Kristie Blevins, Eastern Kentucky University--Kristie Blevins Overall, I found the text to be well written and well organized. Also, the majority of aspects that I read were up do date. I particularly liked the applied exercises and I believe I would use them regularly in in-class discussions. Further, the cross-national components were great. That is something that you don t regularly get much detail on and the students will really enjoy learning about corrections abroad. Danielle McDonald, Northern Kentucky University--Danielle McDonald What I most like about it is that it conveys the author s experiences in corrections. It comes across that author worked corrections and cares about the topic. It is (therefore) not as dry as the typical textbook. At the same time, it is not simply a memoir or personal experience. The author relies enough on current literature and data that it is an authoritative textbook. Robert Hormant, U. of Detroit--Robert Hormant
