Case Studies in Corrections invites the reader to analyze hypothetical situations confronted by judges, probation officers, inmates, correctional officers, counselors, clerics, and administrators. Concise but thorough introductions to each section provide background for assessing the scenarios. Thought-provoking questions stimulate reflection about possible courses of action and the potential consequences of choices made. The Sixth Edition encourages an interactive approach whether rethinking effective punishment, analyzing the role of the community in corrections, or addressing ethical and legal issues.

I also love the opportunity that the cases provide for group work." --Vanessa Price, Northeast State Community College "Excellent text for my Interviewing & Counseling class. Case studies are relevant and contemporary in regard to decisions faced by correctional professionals today. I highly recommend it to any individual teaching in the correctional field." --Keith Twitchell, Diablo Valley College
