Abstract

THE STANDARDS FOR THE FIELD OF CORRECTIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BASED ON THE EXPERIENCE AND RESEARCH AND THE IDEALS AND HOPES OF HUNDREDS OF CORRECTIONAL LEADERS OF THE AMERICAN CORRECTIONAL ASSOCIATION FROM ALL PARTS OF THE NATION. THEY PROVIDE BASIC INFORMATION FOR GOVERNORS, COMMISSIONS, LEGISLATORS, CORRECTIONAL OFFICIALS AND CITIZEN GROUPS WHO ARE SEEKING CONTINUOUSLY FOR PROGRAMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING CRIME CONTROL AND CRIME PREVENTION. OBJECTIVES, CORRECTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY, CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION, INSTITUTIONS, AND EVALUATION AND MEASUREMENT ARE THE TOPICS DISCUSSED. BIBLIOGRAPHY
