Abstract
Correctionally oriented programs have developed rapidly in colleges and universities in the last several years. Despite their potential impact, little information is available about the shape and goals of these pro grams and the problems confronting the educators responsible for their operation. Before, during, and after a sixteen-day institute to which twenty-four educators from two-year, four-year, and graduate programs were invited, information was generated about students in the programs, curricular approaches, and relationships with correctional agencies. Four types of academic responses to the field of correction were identified, as were some of the important dilemmas that must be addressed by academic training in correction.
