Review
“I would and have told colleagues that this is the best text on corrections I have used. It is the text my students have used the most and complained about the least in the 15 or so years I have been teaching corrections. It is comprehensive without smothering the student in minutiae. The language is easily understood, but does not leave out terminology the student must know and understand. Great balance of affordability, utility, and acceptance by students.” — Patrick J. Faiella
“A great introduction into corrections that covers the necessary material and helps students think critically about the issues within corrections.” — Jeanne M. Subjack, PhD

“This textbook is functional to both students and instructors. It is written well and easy to follow along with. The best feature of this textbook is the instructor and student resources provided throughout each chapter. This promotes student learning and development.
