Reseña del libro "Contemporary Corrections (en Inglés)"

Corrections is a complex, challenging, and vital component of our criminal justice system. In Contemporary Corrections, criminal justice experts Michael Pittaro and Christine Hess Orthmann explore the delicate balance corrections seeks to maintain between the rights of society and the rights of individuals convicted of infringing upon society's rights. The book introduces students to the myriad challenges and realities facing corrections today, not only regarding the types of facilities and populations that exist but also regarding the issues experienced by those who work in the field. Part I examines the historical context from which our present correctional system has evolved and how various sentencing and diversion practices are used. Part II discusses traditional and alternative correctional sanctions from community corrections to carceral sanctions to the release of offenders. In Part III, students learn about the human factor in corrections. Chapters describe special correctional populations and the correctional personnel responsible for the care and custody of offenders. The final part reviews corrections at work, including special challenges such as gangs, riots, drugs and overcrowding, evidence-based treatment, and prisoners' rights and other legal issues. Providing a comprehensive introduction, Contemporary Corrections is ideal for undergraduate students majoring in criminal justice and related fields.
