CHAPTER SUMMARY 1. 1 Corrections is the range of community and institutional sanctions, treatment programs, and services for managing criminal offenders. The primary mission is to protect the public through surveillance and control, treatment and rehabilitation, and incarceration. 1. 2 The correctional funnel displays the disposition and number of cases that begin as being reported and end as incarceration. It is clear that only a small percentage of crimes reported end in arrest and incarceration. 1. 3 The growth of corrections in terms of offender population and cost has dramatically increased over the past two decades. 1. 4 Classical criminology focuses on the free will and hedonism of the offender while Positive criminology centers on biological and environmental causes of crime. Contemporary corrections continues to ascribe more toward the Classical School. © 2014 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
CHAPTER SUMMARY 1. 5 Early responses to crime included many forms of corporeal punishments including torture of various types. 1. 6 The American prison system started with a small penitentiary at the Walnut Street Jail in Philadelphia and advanced to larger penitentiaries in Pennsylvania and New York and then to reformatories in several states. 1. 7 1. 8 The Walnut Street Jail was a three-story jail in Philadelphia. A small segregated unit on the third floor was renovated so inmates could repent in their cells. This became the beginning of the penitentiary movement. The Pennsylvania system operated as a silent and separate system in which inmates were confined in single cells with no contact with other offenders. The Auburn system permitted inmates to work in groups to have human contact, but silence remained a key feature. © 2014 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
CHAPTER SUMMARY 1. 9 The development of the prison was a slow process of moving from a separate and silent system to reformatories to promote treatment and work skills, then to a system in which offenders were consider “ill. ” This was followed by a movement toward rehabilitation and reintegration back to the community and a concern for victims’ rights. 1. 10 The Hawes-Cooper Act (1929) and the Ashurst-Sumners Act (1935) restricted the sale of prison made goods on the open market. 1. 11 The Rehabilitation Era evolved into the Medical Model in which offenders were “sick” and needed treatment. While this fell out of favor, more emphasis was placed on preparing offenders for their eventual release. 1. 12 The sentencing goals of corrections remain punishment, deterrence, incapacitation, treatment, and restitution. 1. 13 Specific deterrence refers to those punishments aimed at stopping the offender from committing further crimes. General deterrence are actions to persuade other persons from committing criminal acts. © 2014 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
