To the Instructor This text covers history, theories, operations, costs, and effectiveness. It goes beyond providing students a historical perspective, an encyclopedia of terms, and general information regarding corrections. In addition, the text emphasizes practice as well as theory; the challenges to accomplishing the mission of correctional agencies; and the roles of the people who work in, are supervised by, or are affected by the correctional process. The goal of this textbook is to help students understand (1) how various factors throughout the historical development of corrections influenced the basic operating foundations of today, (2) the linkage of theory and practice, (3) how correctional policy is developed and enacted, (4) the manner in which current correctional policy is put into practice by correctional agencies, and (5) the difficulty in carrying out the functions of correctional agencies in a cost-efficient manner. This Instructor’s Manual has been carefully designed to assist you, the faculty, in presenting the material contained in the text by adding new features to make classes and lectures more interesting, effective, and instructor-friendly.

Missing an exam equates to an automatic zero unless a doctor’s excuse, obituary, or other method of excuse is provided (depending on the event). Forgetting the exam or oversleeping is not a valid excuse. Make-up exams will only be given with an approved excuse. If you schedule a makeup exam and do not show up for it or call to let me know you cannot make it, you will no longer be able to make up that exam. An excused miss of a make-up exam requires the same type of excuse necessary to reschedule it in the first place.
