OverviewWithin corrections, women have made notable impacts in policy, cultural changes, and leadership, yet they have received little attention and study. Based on quantitative and qualitative data, this book fills that gap, examining women in corrections executive positions—their motivations, successes, and challenges. From initial entry into corrections work through their careers, interviews with members of the Association of Women Executives in Corrections (AWEC) reveal their motives for promoting, their career trajectories, and the challenges they faced in a male dominated environment, such as gender bias, perceptions of leadership effectiveness, and difficulty maintaining work-life balance.

Collica-Cox bases her work on both quantitative and qualitative data, firsthand accounts, and survey analyses, which, among other things, shed light on how women perceive their experiences as corrections executives, their motives for climbing the career ladder through promotion, and the challenges they face as they attempt to succeed in a male-dominated environment. Her book is a groundbreaking work that gives one of the first systematic, thoroughly evidence based, accounts of women's career trajectories and impact on the correctional system. This outstanding book is required reading for anyone interested in the criminal justice system, gender studies, current affairs, and the changing nature of prison populations. -- Larry E.
