Canadian Corrections, 7th Edition

Curt T. Griffiths, Danielle J. Murdoch
Available

Canadian Corrections, 7th Edition provides a comprehensive overview of the organization, history, and contemporary issues shaping Canada’s correctional systems. Widely used across university and college programs, this text blends descriptive and analytical coverage with practical applications drawn from the experiences of correctional personnel and justice-involved individuals. Students will develop a critical understanding of the forces that influence society’s responses to crime, and those who come into conflict with the law.

This text includes free access to CRIM+, Emond’s new online study tool.
 

“Canadian Corrections does a stellar job of weaving important theoretical tenets with practical, meaningful examples. Murdoch and Griffiths’ extensive experience and feel for the subject matter are evident throughout.” 
 

—Carla Cesaroni, Ontario Tech University
