CJC 4010: Introduction to Corrections

Welcome to the Corrections website!  Here you can find interesting links and information to supplement what you learn in class. 

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Criminology, Law, & Society at the University of Florida.  I am primarily interested in corrections, specifically correctional adjustment, institutional culture, victimization in prison, correctional staff & administration, correctional rehabilitation policy & programs, and community corrections.  My other criminology interest include evaluation research, victimology, policing, and theory.  As an ex-practitioner, I am mostly interested in policy-relevant research that is informed by practical real-world issues.
