This text covers history, theories, operations, costs, and effectiveness. It goes beyond
providing students a historical perspective, an encyclopedia of terms, and general
information regarding corrections. In addition, the text emphasizes practice as well as
theory; the challenges to accomplishing the mission of correctional agencies; and the
roles of the people who work in, are supervised by, or are affected by the correctional
process. The goal of this textbook is to help students understand (1) how various factors
throughout the historical development of corrections influenced the basic operating
foundations of today, (2) the linkage of theory and practice, (3) how correctional policy is
developed and enacted, (4) the manner in which current correctional policy is put into
@
practice by correctional agencies, and (5) the difficulty in carrying out the functions of
correctional agencies in a cost-efficient manner.
This Instructor’s Manual has been carefully designed to assist you, the faculty, in
TE
presenting the material contained in the text by adding new features to make classes and
lectures more interesting, effective, and instructor-friendly. The goals are to ensure that
key points are being learned and to maximize effective student interaction. Here is a list
of features:
ST
Suggested course syllabi for 10- and 16-week courses
Chapter overviews
Chapter objectives
Lecture outlines
List of changes/transition guide
BA
Additional assignments and class activities
Suggested answers to end-of chapter assignments
These above-mentioned items, along with the pedagogical features contained in the main
text, can be combined to construct quizzes, midterm examinations, and comprehensive
N
examinations. They can be mixed together in unlimited combinations by using the Test
Bank which accompanies this book. The author always welcomes your comments and

recommendations for improvement of future editions.
