Correctional Theory: Context and Consequences (2nd Edition) – eBook

The Correctional Theory: Context and Consequences, 2nd Edition (PDF) continues to identify and evaluate the major competing theories used to guide the policies, goals, and practices of the correctional system. Authors Francis T. Cullen and Cheryl Lero Jonson demonstrate that changes in theories can legitimize new ways of treating and punishing offenders. They help readers understand how transformations in U.S. society’s social and political context impact correctional theory and policy. The Second Edition is designed to motivate readers to become sophisticated consumers of correctional information, the ebook emphasizes using evidence-based information to guide decisions rather than relying on non-scientific common-sense or ideology-based beliefs.
