The Third Edition of A Text/Reader provides you with the best of both worlds―a brief authored text accompanied by carefully selected and edited readings. Clear explanations of all of the major course topics help you understand the impact of new directions and policy in corrections. Policy-oriented original research articles demonstrate how research drives these advances. Designed throughout to enhance understanding, the book includes a helpful "How to Read a Research Article" section before the first reading, as well as article introductions, photographs, and discussion questions that will capture your interest and help you develop your critical thinking skills.
