Corrections From Research, to Policy, to Practice

Corrections: From Research, to Policy, to Practice is focused on corrections as it is in the 21st Century and the treatment and rehabilitative themes that are driving it, rather than the mass incarceration and penal harm sentiments of the 1990s. Authors Mary K. Stohr and Anthony Walsh offer a comprehensive and practical approach, offering coverage of often-overlooked topics like problem-solving courts, classification and assessment, correctional organization and management, and comparative corrections. Weaving together research, policy, and practice, Corrections offers students an essential understanding of the punishment and treatment of offenders in U.S. correctional institutions.
