<p>This book provides professionals and students with an understanding of the dynamics and problems that correctional workers face within correctional institutions. A general framework for understanding the diversity of behaviors encountered in a correctional setting begins the text. The authors then examine attitudes and behaviors typically displayed by inmates, dynamics that formulate patterns of inmate behaviors, and fundamentals of inmate supervision. Dealing with special behavior problems, including homosexuality, suicidal tendencies, and emotional disorders, is covered, and interacting with members of other ethnic groups and with the opposite sex is discussed. The text also details the legal aspects of correctional work and describes rules that workers must follow when supervising inmates. Discussions on sources of stress in the prison or jail setting and on steps for coping with organizational stress conclude the book.</p>
