The book itself featured some valuable content, I am required to read it for my degree program--so I may be biased. The problem is this: As students we are paying large sums of money for a book written by Phd's that contains several blatant errors. (Pg. 228, is one example). I am expected to edit my work extensively before submitting it, why can't Pearson get an editor? I just read Eragon--which is written by a 15 year old-- and I saw no blatant errors whatsoever. Fascinating! So, if there are errors in language usage is there a casual indifference to the information within? Only being an undergraduate student I couldn't say, I'm not experienced enough to detect falsehoods in factual content....but with the carelessness in other areas I would say it's a possibility.
The textbook, Corrections in America is a very good book for those who are in the Criminal Justice field, especially ones that want to have a career in the prison or jail system. I was assigned this book for my Corrections in America class. We havenât really delved into this book a whole lot, we really have only hit some of the basic and main points in it. Corrections in America isnât one of those textbooks where you have to evaluate every word and sentence and in between every word and sentence, it is very general, basic and very easy to read and use. This book really gives a very good and simple overview of the prison system.As a Criminal Justice student we learn all the aspects of the Criminal Justice system including corrections, corrections plays a major role in our system. Corrections in America breaks down the Corrections system and how it works. It gives you the history of corrections along with correction policies that are used today. It also includes the issues that come along with corrections and what has been done to better the system of Corrections. Corrections in America is a great textbook for anyone to get the general ideas, goals, and a good understanding of the prison system and how it works.Corrections in America doesnât only apply to students wanting to have a career in the jail or prison system, it is good for any student in the Criminal Justice field. As I mentioned, prison, jail, and corrections plays a major role in Criminal Justice. Without corrections, Criminal Justice would and could not function properly as it has such a vital role and impact. Having this book would be great for anyone in the Criminal Justice field because Corrections in America gives you everything you would ever want to know about the Corrections system without overwhelming you.Since Corrections in America doesnât overwhelm you with big words and loads of information you canât understand like most textbooks it is easy to read, follow along with, and take notes. Corrections in America even highlights and explains vocabulary words in the margin so that you can easily point them out and know what they are, I never like when textbooks only highlight the vocabulary words in the text, but donât give you an explanation in the margin. Corrections in America even takes it to the next level of easy and highlights the words in the text too, so not only does it give you the explanation in the margin, but it highlights the word in the text, so that you can easily find where the word is in the text.
No complaints! This book got me through a class I took in corrections, and was interesting to read. Written well. I don't want to pursue a career in corrections, but this book got me through the class at an enjoyable level--and I did learn a lot.
I bought this because I needed it for criminal justice class. It got the job done but the chapters were long and very repetitioius. After awhile, it became boring and I struggled to stay focus.
Book was in excellent condition, and didn't realize I ordered the hard cover which is a plus! I'm about two paragraphs in so I can't tell you much about the content.
I say I loved it because it was on time, the book is in fairly good shape, and it was almost three times cheaper then it would have been from the actual school. I would most definitely recommend this option to all college students.
This was the best Corrections book I have read so far! It had great statistics and survey results in it. There were pictures, bar graphs, pie graphs, and line graphs to help illustrate the numbers. Very easy to understand and I loved the history of the Judicial system in it. I still revert back to it for the class I have now!
I decided to rent instead of buy due to the high cost and this was a great idea. The book was nice, clean and delivered quickly. I have used for me and my wife's books and everything has been great. Returning it is also easy (as long as you have a drop off place nearby). Loved the service.
