American Corrections continues to offer readers an engaging, scholarly, and student-friendly exploration into the US correctional system in an updated third edition. Beginning with sentencing and offender classification and proceeding to parole and reentry, the text walks students through the entire correctional system and its processes. This progression from foundations to specializations gives students a solid grounding in corrections as they prepare for a variety of careers within the US criminal justice system. The Third Edition contains updated data and statistics and features new information on restorative justice restitution programs, the federal Post Conviction Risk Assessment (PCRA), and an in-depth look at the effectiveness of various correctional programs. The new modern interior design combined with the straight-forward writing style, and apolitical approach make American Corrections the easy choice for undergraduate corrections courses.
