3. The 2nd Edition of Adjustive Theory: Setting and Ramifications continues to analyze and assess the most significant competing theories used to shape the goals, strategies, and procedures of the corrective system. Writers Francis T. Cullen and Cheryl Lero Jonson demonstrate that modifications in theories can validate new approaches of handling and penalizing offenders, and they help readers comprehend how alterations in the social and political setting of U.S. society impact corrective theory and strategy. Crafted to motivate readers to become sophisticated consumers of corrective information, the book underscores the importance of employing evidence-based information to steer decisions, rather than relying on non-scientific common sense or ideology-based convictions.
