Canadian Corrections, 6e

Studying the Canadian correctional enterprise merits a clear, thoughtful approach to the dynamics of corrections. From its origins, structure and design, and the ongoing ways in which Canada’s correctional landscape is impacted by judicial and government decision making, the sixth edition of Canadian Corrections provides a comprehensive overview of the history, organization, trends and issues in the Canadian corrections system. This text blends descriptive and analytical coverage of corrections with the practical applications of corrections, including the lived experiences of correctional personnel and justice-involved persons. Fully updated with current research, data and statistics, and coverage of key themes and issues in the field, Canadian Corrections helps students build their knowledge of and develop a critical eye to the socio-cultural factors that influence social responses to crime and criminal offenders.
