More DescriptionThe purpose of this book is to give correctional officers and supervisors a resource that is practical and easy to read and use, and covers material that is relevant to working in jails and prisons today. Additionally, this book could be used to augment classroom discussion about the challenges of managing and working in today¿s correctional environment. The exciting aspect of today's correctional discipline is that through new research, a wealth of data, studies, and material are being offered about corrections, offenders, and staff operations. This book draws upon this research as well as other current trends in the field of corrections. It is ideal for teaching students about correctional supervision, and is also a resource for correctional agencies and correctional supervisors. These practical approaches can be easily integrated into a correctional training academy or into a corrections course. This book is a unique addition to the corrections literature because few if any books specifically examine and address principles of correctional supervision.
