Amid ongoing challenges in recruiting, retaining, and managing correctional officers-issues intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic-the book offers an insider's perspective on staff dynamics, organizational culture, and occupational safety and health. Set against the backdrop of the impending closure of Rikers Island Jail, this timely and thoughtful work humanizes correctional staff who are often depicted in the media as a uniformly punitive group. By shifting the focus from incarcerated and detained populations to those who work within correctional institutions, Forgotten Law Enforcement provides a compelling and necessary contribution to contemporary discussions on jail confinement, labor, and institutional reform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSimone Martin-Howard\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor and Director of the Master of Public Administration in the Department of Public Management at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, USA.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 November 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666971996\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e264\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51515343274124,"sku":"9781666971996","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_df6a44f9-1029-47ae-b214-57a1143fcb05.jpg?v=1784692463","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781666971996","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
