recent headlines to reinforce important theories. The authors "tell it like it is,"
offering you thought-provoking, unbiased examinations of such topics as assisting
felons during the re-entry process, reducing recidivism, the death penalty, and
surveillance. You'll also get a frontline view of careers in the corrections field.
