We had heard the horror stories of authors turning in their chapters months or years late or never at all, of publishers delaying publication dates, of volumes that read more like patchwork quilts than finely loomed cloth. As if to prove the others wrong, our experience in editing this volume has been mar velous, and we think the volume reflects this. Most likely, the success of our experience and of the volume stems from two elements: first, the professionalism and commitment of the authors themselves; and second, the fact that early in the life of this volume, most of the authors convened for a conference to critique and coordinate the chapters. This book brings together an illustrious group of criminologists and correctional scholars who wrote chapters explicitly for this volume. Co hesiveness was furthered by the charge we gave to each author to (1) present the major issues, (2) review the empirical research, and (3) dis cuss the implications of this work for present and future correction | 出版日期 | Book 1989 | 关键词 | Governance; Innovation; Institution; Nation; Policy; Revolution; Segregation; Sex; demography; environment; ge | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4684-5652-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4684-5654-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4684-5652-3 | copyright | Plenum Press, New York 1989 |
