Overall "This text is clearly superior to the numerous books I have reviewed in regard to depth, diversity, detail, and it provides the most current knowledge available." Ted Wallman University of North Florida "Compared to the text by Allen and Simonsen, that I am currently using, this material is fresher and mroe provacative....This text is far better written." Kay Henriksen MacMurray College Coverage of Race/ Ethnicity and Gender "I REALLY like the integration of women throughout each chapter." Kathy Black-Dennis University of Louisville "I really like that the authors include information regarding female offenders throughout." Denise Huggins University of Arkansas "My favorite aspect of the book is the incorporation of women/ class/ race in each chapter" Hilary Estes Southern Illinois University Writing Style "The best feature of the book would be the overall writing style of the author." Janie Slaughter WakeTech Community College "The author has a very crisp and poignant style of writing. They hold my interest from teh beginning to the end." Harold Frossard Moraine Valley Community College "There is a very easy transition from topic to topic and from chapter to chapter. These chapters flowed into one another in good fashion." Charles Kelly, Jr. Northwestern State University Pedagogical Features "The pedagogical features of the text ("what works," "policy matters," and "hot topics") are appealing. They have clear import and instructive value and serve to create understanding and interest." Ronald Iacovetta Wichita State University "I found the "What Works" segment to be very, very useful and informative - I would use it in my class." Harold Frossard Moraine Valley Community College"The feature I like the best is the use of examples, scenarios, at the start of each chapter. This device somehow makes it a bit more personal, allowing the student to relate the example to him or herself or someone they might know." Charles Kelly, Jr. Northwestern State University "The pedagogical features significantly contribute to the strengths of the book. The "hot topics" and "what works" sections provide essential examples to students not only of historical information, but also current and contemporary problems that face corrections." Hilary Estes Southern Illinois University "Policy Matters is probably my favorite feature - students need to understand how and why policies and laws are implemented." Hilary Estes Southern Illinois University "The "what works" feature is an exciting one that I think will benefit the students." Reid Toth University of North Carolina Chapter 7: Correctional Supervision and Treatment Programs "This chapter has two main strengths: the thoroughness with which the community based programs are explained and the definitions interspersed within each subsection. The author's care in this regard is evident and appreciated." Junius Koonce Edgecombe Community College "This is one of the better chapters I have read on community supervision and treatment and it has a nice mix of more punishment oriented programs and more treatment-oriented programs." Leah Daigle University of North Texas "The background and development of the various community corrections programs is comprehensive and provides the appropriate context for understanding why and how these programs were first developed. Having this context is essential for students to be able to critically examinesuch programs." Leah Daigle University of North Texas "I believe [this chapter] will engage the student reader and hold their interest. I think it has a nice mix of information and specific details about programs in existence that gives the chapter a "real-life" approach." Leah Daigle University of North Texas Chapter 9: Prison Life "This chapter is very well written and does a commendable job of treating this subject. The focus and treatment is current and comprehensive and is developed in a way that will peak student interest in this subject." Ronald Iacovetta Wichita State University "A strength I see is the coverage of gangs and security threat groups. This coverage is more than I have seen in most books and since it is a growing concern in prisons/jails it should be covered in detail." Leah Daigle University of North Texas Chapter 10: Government and Private Management of Correctional Institutions "This is an outstanding chapter." Junius Koonce Edgecombe Community College "This chapter is very strong with its examination and explanations of the workings of correctional officers. Each section...contains accurate descriptions and assessments of the situations faced by correctional officers." Junius Koonce Edgecombe Community College Chapter 13: Legal Issues of Prisoners and Victims "The research on prisoner's rights and court cases is comprehensive and seems to cover most relevant topics and available research. As previously mentioned, I think this text does a better job at delving into the complexities of the rights and the cases that ahve addressed them."
