Learning tools are included at the end of each case study in the form of questions, discussion topics, and assignments. "This type of learning provides students with 'mental hooks' on which they can hang the concepts that are described in their books. Barbara Peat has done an excellent job of providing such case studies for the benefit of students and professors who teach courses in the field of corrections. They should prove useful in a wide range of corrections courses." -- G. Larry Mays, New Mexico State University "Case Studies in Corrections: Examples, Exercises, Discussion Points, and Practitioner Interviews is the ideal companion for a variety of corrections textbooks. Dr. Peat's extensive practitioner and academic background is evident throughout the pages of this highly credible and well-organized source of authoritative information. Corrections professionals will also find this book to be a useful addition to their library." -- David F. Owens, Onondaga Community College "This is exactly the type of book that helps instructors bridge the gap between the academic and practical worlds. The case study examples can be used in a variety of projects, assignments, or for class discussion. The content and format of the book lends itself nicely to complementing a primary text for a corrections class." -- Kathrine Johnson, Ph.D., University of West Florida "In criminal justice and corrections, few aspects for a student are more important than understanding the marriage of theory and practice. The ability to apply concepts and theories of corrections to cases is a valuable learning tool for students and pedagogical instrument for instructors. Case Studies in Corrections: Examples, Exercises, Discussion Points, and Practitioner Interviews allows just this -- the interplay of theory and practice. Authored by an individual with academic training, practical experience, and knowledge of learning and assessment, this book should prove to be valuable in the classroom and for future correctional professionals." -- Bryan D. Byers, Ball State University

Download or read book Case Studies in Criminal Justice Ethics written by Michael Braswell and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2020-12-23 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethical conflicts rarely involve clear-cut choices. Decision making in ambiguous circumstances challenges personal values and professional ethics. The fog of politics, personal bias, and past experiences factor into the choices made. The goal of this compelling collection of cases is to stimulate reflection about the ethical dilemmas encountered in interactions. Thought-provoking case studies address police misconduct, protests and civil unrest, school resource officers, questionable prosecutorial practices, the challenges of a pandemic for prisons, the influence of politics, ethnic/gender/sexual preference bias, family conflict, immigration, perceptions of terrorism, and executing someone who may be innocent. The experiential approach presents readers with opportunities to think about decisions they might have to make as criminal justice professionals. People employed in criminal justice have a great deal of power and discretion, which can be used ethically or unethically. Introductions to the sections on law enforcement, the courts, corrections, and juvenile justice provide background for analyzing the hypothetical scenarios. Case commentaries and questions provoke discussion about potential courses of action and the consequences of various choices.

Download or read book Reform in a Prison Hospital written by Stanley Anderson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following an overview of America's "Shameful Prisons," this book dissects the stream of reprisals imposed upon the physician who blew the whistle to uncover a culture of mediocrity that tolerated severe deficiencies in the quality of medical care afforded to inmates in the Nebraska State prison system. Using two thousand pages of detailed incident reports and verbatim court transcripts, the author dramatizes the conflict by quoting what the protagonists actually said. The Nebraska Ombudsman spent fourteen months probing a dozen areas of alleged deleliction including diagnosis of chest pain, transmission of communicable diseases, deteriorated equipment, insufficient training of nurses, wavering standards for referral to outside specialists, and inhumane pain management. Exhaustive documentation and extensive press coverage enabled the author to highlight both the hospital leadership's opposition to the Ombudsman's intervention and the Nebraska Governor's personal denigration of the Ombudsman. The findings of the Governor's blue ribbon Task Force echoed the Ombudsman's recommendations. The State Legislature enacted comprehensive and durable remedial legislation. "How trenchantly informing I find your "Prelude" on "Shameful Prisons to be. Needless to say, what it teaches is not something we want to learn. But, having sanctioned this incarceration regime, we American voters must sit still to hear the truth about what, in our willful stupidity, we have caused to happen." Thomas Schrock, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Santa Barbara "[This] is certainly a story worth being told and has important implications for correctional systems everywhere." Marshall Lux, Nebraska State Ombudsman

Download or read book Encountering Correctional Populations written by Kathleen A. Fox and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many researchers study offenders and offending, few actually journey into the correctional world to meet offenders face to face. This book offers researchers, practitioners, and students a step-by-step guide to effectively research correctional populations, providing field-tested advice for those studying youth and adults on probation, on parole, and in jails and prisons. The book addresses topics such as how to build rapport with offenders and those who monitor them; how to select from the many types of correctional data that can be collected; how to navigate the informed consent process and maintain research ethics; and how to manage the logistics of doing research. With personal stories, “what if” scenarios, case studies, and real-world tools like checklists and sample forms, the authors share methods of negotiating the complexities that researchers often face as they work with those behind bars.

Download or read book The Evidence Enigma written by Tiffany Bergin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do policymakers sometimes adopt policies that are not supported by evidence? How can scholars and practitioners encourage policymakers to listen to research? This book explores these questions, presenting a fascinating case study of a policy that did not work, yet spread rapidly to almost every state in the United States: the policy of correctional boot camps. Examining the claims on which the implementation of the policy were based, including the assertions that such boot camps would reduce reoffending, save public money and ease overcrowding - none of which proved to be universally accurate - The Evidence Enigma also investigates the political, economic, cultural, and other factors which encouraged the spread of this policy. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are used to test hypotheses, as the author draws rich comparisons with other policies, including Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE), abstinence-only sex education programs, and the electronic monitoring or tagging of offenders in England and Wales. Presenting important lessons for guarding against the proliferation of policies that don't work in future, this ground-breaking and accessible book will be of interest to those working in the fields of criminology, sociology and social and public policy.
