Clear, Cole, & Reisig did a good job discussing the many facets of corrections from the history of punishment through incarceration to the crime control models, which often result in prison overcrowding. The sidebars throughout the book were interesting as well. Overall, this is a good book to use to study penology and it provided a lot of insight into the discipline.

Great product. Husband would not have been able to get his book for class if I was not able to get his book here. Was much lower than getting it at school.
