Larry Essentials of Corrections / G. Larry Mays and L. Thomas Winfree 4th Ed. Belmont : Wadsworth Cengage Learning, 2008 xxv, 478 p. : : illus. ; 24 cm. Indeks : p.464 - 478 p.435 - 463 This book introduces you to the U.S. corrections system without bogging you down in excessive detail or unnecessary technical jargon. Unbiased and accessible, the text includes coverage of the history of corrections; careers; alternatives to incarceration; probation and parole; race, ethnicity, and gender issues in corrections; re-entry into the community; and more. The goals of this book are to be accessible intellectually to students from a variety of backgrounds and degrees of preparation; to flow from one chapter to the next and for the book to "tell a story"; to present the broad sweep of the corrections component to students who may or may not end up working in corrections; and consistently focused on the most recent material available.
