Written in a simple, concise style and enhanced with discussion questions and a list of key terms in each chapter, this volume examines predominant issues related to the system of administering to offenders in the United States. It begins with an overview of the system and a historical review and then focuses on select issues, including sentencing goals and rationales; noncustodial supervision; jail, prison, and jurisdictional differences in correction systems; and challenges faced by corrections personnel. It also examines constitutional challenges to inmate controls; victims' rights; correctional counseling perspectives and prevailing sociological theories; capital punishment; and juvenile corrections.
