Rosemary Ricciardelli: Federal Canadian Correctional Officer Training, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The volume uses an ethnographical approach to examine all three stages of the Correctional Services Canada's federal Correctional Officer Training Program offered for recruited individuals. It presents how officers are socialized, trained, and prepared (or not prepared) through training. This volume reveals the content and context of the training program, the role of values and ethics, the socialization process, the co-response model, the challenges of discretion, the gendered space, and the lessons of training. The ethnographic data is based on full immersion in uniform living in dorm, but also includes thematic analysis of content, field notes, and reflection. It features recommendations of international value for correctional officer training and identifies context and content needs. This monograph is ideal for graduate students and researchers interested in correctional services, officer training, and prison society.
