Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)SPECIAL PROBLEMS IN CORRECTIONS is a fine piece of scholarship, with terrific classroom potential. Each chapter tackles a different important problem
in the field of corrections and reviews and/or proposes realistic solutions. It draws upon the traditional literature on jails, prisons and community corrections, and it integrates many of the ideas of the Convict Criminology Perspective. The book cites and references many of the most important works published by ex-convict criminology professors. Moreover, in addition to writing the Foreword, a number of Convict Criminologists served as reviewers of selected chapters.

Sets out to identify the most pressing issues affecting the correctional system today. Maintaining a solutions-focus, the book organizes problems into two distinct categories: those impacting the convicts and correctional facilities and those impacting the correctional officers and administrators. It examines long-standing, and emerging issues from a critical perspective, grounding discussion in empirical research and current events. Using the consistent voice of a single author, the book offers a no nonsense approach to explaining the problems of correctional officers, correctional managers, prisoners, and the public.
