Download or read book Routledge Handbook on American Prisons written by Laurie A. Gould and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook on American Prisons is an authoritative volume that provides an overview of the state of U.S. prisons and synthesizes the research on the many facets of the prison system. The United States is exceptional in its use of incarceration as punishment. It not only has the largest prison population in the world, but also the highest per-capita incarceration rate. Research and debate about mass incarceration continues to grow, with mounting bipartisan agreement on the need for criminal justice reform. Divided into four sections (Prisons: Security, Operations and Administration; Types of Offenders and Populations; Living and Dying in Prison; and Release, Reentry, and Reform), the volume explores the key issues fundamental to understanding the U.S. prison system, including the characteristics of facilities; inmate risk assessment and classification, prison administration and employment, for-profit prisons, special populations, overcrowding, prison health care, prison violence, the special circumstances of death row prisoners, collateral consequences of incarceration, prison programming, and parole. The final section examines reform efforts and ideas, and offers suggestions for future research and attention. With contributions from leading correctional scholars, this book is a valuable resource for scholars with an interest in U.S. prisons and the issues surrounding them. It is structured to serve scholars and graduate students studying corrections, penology, institutional corrections, and other related topics.
Download or read book Handbook for Evaluating Objective Prison Classification Systems written by Jack Alexander and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides prison administrators and evaluators with information on how to best evaluate their objective classification systems to determine whether goals are being met, and if so, to what degree. This handbook offers guidance on the types of evaluations, how they should be designed and implemented, how data should be collected and analyzed, and how findings can be interpreted. Objective classification systems cover many areas, but this manual focuses on security and custody classification, because it is currently a central concern of corrections and criminal justice practitioners. However, the principles set forth apply equally to the evaluation of objective classification instruments in other areas. Chapter 1 introduces the importance of evaluating classification and reviews the most important studies conducted to date. Standards for conducting evaluations and ethical issues that must be considered in conducting research on human subjects are examined. Process and impact evaluations and validation are then briefly reviewed, along with data collection methods.
