Features: This book focuses on introducing the theories and practices of prisons and community corrections in the field of criminal enforcement in the United States at present. It also involves the relevant U.S. criminal justice system and juvenile justice and law enforcement systems. To some extent, the book reflects the cultural and value orientations of contemporary American society from the perspective of criminal enforcement. The book's feature is to combine the needs of criminal enforcement in China, in the form of thematic discussions, focusing on some prominent issues in current U.S. criminal enforcement. It pays attention to theoretical exploration while also considering practical applications. Due to differences in thinking between Eastern and Western cultures and the differences in language expression between Chinese and English, the author strives to adapt the content organization and language expression as much as possible to the habits and acceptance of Chinese readers. Although the book has relatively few chapters, it is sufficient to reflect the trends and characteristics of current U.S. criminal enforcement, including the judicial system, ideological development, and can serve as a reference book for teaching and research personnel in prison studies, labor education, criminology, sociology, and law in China, as well as for prison and labor education officers, students in law schools, and judicial, procuratorial, and administrative personnel in public security, procuratorial, and judicial departments.
