Corrections in the Community

Rating:
Summary: Very readable, current textbook
Review: As an adjunct professor at the University of Central Florida, I use this text to supplement my Community-Based Corrections class (it was too late in the semester to order it for the main text). It is very readable, written in a good continuim of information, and includes review questions, key terms, and recommended readings. The instructor's guide includes a test bank disk and an overview of each chapter. Student objectives, instructor's aides, and test questions (essay, short-answer, multiple-choice, and true/false) are included (with correct answer, of course!) My students generate a lot of floor discussion with the topics in this book.

Review: I am a 3rd year Criminal Justice student and I must say that this is probably the best text that I have ever had. It is interesting, easy to read and very scholastic. It is actually a pleasure to read this book.

Review: Latessa and Allen have provided an excellent resource for students of Criminal Justice, and professors alike. This text is concise, very readable, and extremely current, while offering a depth and breadth of information regarding the role and importance of Community Corrections throughout history and today. Many thanks to both authors!
