Crime and Its Correction: An International Survey of Attitudes and Practices offers a groundbreaking exploration into the global landscape of corrections. By examining the historical development, current practices, and innovative approaches to criminal justice, this book sheds light on the complexities of rehabilitation, punishment, and societal reintegration. From the outdated jute mill operations at San Quentin to cutting-edge advancements in correctional methodologies worldwide, the text critically assesses how systems evolve under societal pressures and research-informed strategies. It provides a detailed comparison of approaches across cultures, offering a unique perspective on the balance between control, rehabilitation, and the humane treatment of offenders.
This survey bridges the gap between theory and practice by investigating the collaboration between social scientists and correctional administrators. Through interviews and case studies spanning continents, the authors reveal both the challenges and opportunities within modern correctional systems. Rich in insights and data, the book presents a compelling case for innovation driven by research and strategic planning, making it an indispensable resource for policymakers, criminologists, and social scientists committed to advancing the efficacy and humanity of correctional practices.
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.
