Discretion, Community, and Correctional Ethics

Discover the thought-provoking insights of Discretion, Community, and Correctional Ethics by John Kleinig, published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc in 2001. This compelling paperback, spanning 272 pages, explores the intricate relationship between professional ethics and the correctional system. Kleinig poses a critical question: Can a robust professional ethic be established for prison personnel that, alongside regulatory frameworks, can effectively mediate relationships within the correctional environment? Or are the inherent failures of imprisonment so ingrained that ethical practices are unattainable? This book is an essential read for those interested in criminology, ethics, and the moral dimensions of prison administration. Delve into the complexities of social institutions and the ethical challenges faced by correctional personnel, and gain a deeper understanding of the moral and ethical aspects of penology and punishment.
