The text examines how evidence-based practices are used in corrections and how theory is linked to treatment and punishment of offenders. The book’s conversation-starting pedagogy encourages active participation in learning, encouraging students to think critically about community corrections, prison life, treatment of offenders, reentry, legal issues, the death penalty, and juveniles in corrections.
