About the Book

Make working in the field of corrections more understandable with this unique, insightful collection of essays that connects scholarship and practice Written by scholars who have practical experience in corrections, the readable essays in this one-of-a-kind collection draw on real-world experiences to illustrate theoretical and methodological concepts and demonstrate approaches to corrections practice.
