Recenzii
“The updated and thoroughly revised book does an excellent job of analyzing the contemporary challenges in the field of corrections and suggesting meaningful and realistic solutions to them. Moreover, unlike standard textbooks, Key Issues in Corrections, because of the way it is researched, written, and organized is easy to build a course around. The problems and solutions approach will facilitate classroom discussion, and provide the opportunity to integrate supplementary articles that would allow for further reading.”
“This is one corrections textbook where the author takes the reader inside the fence and behind the wall and does not candy coat the truth. Ross writes with eyes wide open.”
