Transforming Corrections, Second Edition

Additional Book Details

Transforming Corrections: Humanistic Approaches to Corrections and Offender Treatment, Second Edition offers an alternative perspective not easily found in the existing literature concerning the way in which individuals in the criminal justice system are understood and treated by those responsible for their care. This substantially revised edition of Transforming Corrections may be used as a primary source for courses focused on alternative approaches to corrections and offender treatment or as a supplementary text that will help to enhance the current conversation that is ongoing in the field of rehabilitative corrections.

The wide-reaching focus of this collection is intended to provide a variety of alternative perspectives related to issues of theory, correctional practice and offender treatment. As such, Transforming Corrections could be adopted in introductory courses in criminology and criminal justice as well as graduate courses more specifically focused on issues related to offender treatment and correctional administration.
