The Effective Corrections Manager

Effective management is essential to the stability and safety of correctional facilities. The Effective Corrections Manager: Correctional Supervision for the Future, Second Edition provides current information on management and supervision, and offers practical advice based on direct experience. Managing a correctional agency hinges on effectively recruiting, training, directing, and motivating people. This book teaches readers how to be successful in those endeavors. This is fascinating reading for those involved in either developing their own managerial skills or in teaching others how to be effective supervisors in the corrections environment. In these settings, poor management of people or resources at the individual department level can create major organizational problems. In extreme cases, those inadequate decisions and techniques can cost lives.
