Corrections Today 3rd Edition by Larry J. Siegel – Test Bank

Larry J. Siegel, Ph.D., was born in the Bronx, New York. While residing on Jerome Avenue and attending City College (CCNY) in the 1960s, he was caught up in the social and political movements of the era. He became fascinated with the impact that contemporary culture had on individual behavior. For instance, did individuals shape society or did society shape individuals? He applied his interest in social influences and human behavior to the study of crime and justice. After graduating from CCNY, he enrolled in the newly established program in criminal justice at the State University of New York at Albany, where he completed both master’s and doctoral degrees.

Subsequently, he taught for 27 years at the School of Criminology and Justice Studies at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, where he is currently a professor emeritus. Dr. Siegel has published extensively in the field of crime and justice, covering topics such as juvenile law, delinquency, criminology, criminal justice, courts, corrections, criminal procedure, and policing. Larry, along with his wife Therese and their dog Sophie, currently reside in Naples, Florida, where he continues to write on various subjects and issues in crime and justice.
