Covering correctional institutions as well as community corrections, the goal is to interweave professional and technical writing, academic writing, and information literacy, with the result being a stronger, more confident report writer and student in corrections.

It is part of a series of books on this topic that will span criminal justice, policing, corrections, and research methods.
