Corrections Description
Graduates who concentrate in Corrections do such things as confine dangerous and aggressive individuals, prepare legal reports, search persons, subdue violent inmates, testify in court, and in some extreme cases use deadly force. They also identify and understand correctional practices in the United States in relation to philosophies of punishment, sentencing practices, victim’s rights, and institutional limitations.
