"Corrections: A Text/Reader provides the best of both worlds - authored text Sections followed by carefully selected accompanying Readings that illustrate contemporary concerns and questions surrounding corrections in the 21st century. The articles, drawn primarily from leading journals in criminology and criminal justice, reflect both classic studies and current research in corrections and correctional practices and often have a policy perspective that make them more applied, less theoretical, and more interesting to both undergraduate and graduate students."--Jacket.
