For fifty years, Maryland's Patuxent Institution was the one American prison whose express mandate was the rehabilitation of longer-term prisoners, with treatment as the leading motif.

Policing in America
Police officers are responsible for maintaining law and order to ensure everyone's safety and well-being. In doing so, they often put their lives on the line, making it a dangerous and challenging profession.

The viewpoints in this volume will allow readers to become more familiar with all sides of policing in America through careful examination of relevant facts and opinions.
