Canadian Corrections
Canadian Corrections, Fifth Edition, is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the dynamics of corrections in Canada, and to explores the unique attributes of the Canadian correctional enterprise.

Restoring Respect for Justice

Social Learning Theory and the Explanation of Crime
Social learning theory has been called the dominant theory of crime and delinquency in the United States, yet it is often misrepresented. This latest volume in the distinguished Advances in Criminological Theory series explores the impact of this theory. Some equate it with differential association theory. Others depict it as little more than a micro-level appendage to cultural deviance theories. There have been earlier attempts to clarify the theory's unique features in comparison to other theories, and others have applied it to broader issues. These efforts are extended in this volume, which focuses on developing, applying, and testing the theory on a variety of criminal and delinquent behavior. It applies the theory to treatment and prevention, moving social learning into a global context for the twenty-first century. This comprehensive volume includes the latest work, tests, and theoretical advances in social learning theory and will be particularly helpful to criminologists, sociologists, and psychologists. It may also be of interest to those concerned with current issues relating to delinquency, drug use/abuse, and drinking/alcohol abuse.
Family Dispute Resolution from a Cultural Perspective
Family dispute resolution is the central theme of this book. The book contributes to the growing body of research on non-Australian perspectives of South Sudanese settlement in Australia in a unique way; while other researchers have highlighted several of the settlement problems faced by South Sudanese former refugees, none have focused on the important issue of how family law problems are resolved. This book will also make a vital contribution to our understanding of how the Australian legal system works (or does not work) within the context of legal pluralism. Ultimately, this book will strengthen our understanding of social integration and family well-being of South Sudanese families and other groups in Australia.
