INTRODUCTION TO CORRECTIONS<br />

American Corrections<br />

Theory, Research, Policy, and Practice<br />

Matt DeLisi, PhD, Iowa State University<br />

Peter J. Conis, PhD, Iowa State University<br />

This comprehensive resource provides both classic and cutting-edge data on<br />

correctional topics drawing from the fields of criminology, criminal justice,<br />

sociology, psychology, government, and public policy. The hallmark of<br />

American Corrections: Theory, Research, Policy, and Practice is its thesis—<br />

that the American criminal justice system, particularly the corrections<br />

domain, is in theory and practice a system for the management of risk. By<br />

demonstrating that correctional systems balance public safety with providing<br />

treatment and supervision to offenders, this text tells the story of corrections<br />

within a coherent, criminological framework.<br />

and research to present balanced and comprehensive coverage of prisons<br />

and prisoners. Featuring chapters contributed by leading authorities<br />

prisons—punishment, deterrence, rehabilitation, and incapacitation—<br />

and examines controversial issues such as whether imprisonment<br />

actually deters crime or merely serves as punishment.<br />
