The goals of the ACA are outlined and discussed, making it clear that this organization serves as a key leadership entity within the field. The history of this organization, starting with its genesis as the National Prison Association in the late 1800s to its current day state of operations is presented. It is made clear that practitioners and scholars around the nation are impacted by the influence that the ACA has on correctional standards and practices.

Yet, for many laypersons, diplomacy decisions between the United States and the global community associated with international conflict seems to produce dubious outcomes that defy any sense of logical consistency. With this in mind, an analysis of relevant conflict theories is provided that are integrated with specific conflict genres. Based on this analysis, we propose that mediators should operate from a Person-Centered perspective, similar to that developed by Carl Rogers. In addition, we propose a template that is designed to enhance dialog and empower national security decision makers and United States policy formulators in the peacemaking process. In his book The Functions of Social Conflict, Coser (1956) expounds on the nature of group conflict itself by reformulating the propositions of Georg Simmel who focused primarily on the nature of individual conflict. Of particular note are the following propositions which directly correlate to peacemaking strategy development in the context of national security decision making:

In addition, new data are provided that give this analysis a quasi-longitudinal approach to observing cohort participants as they progress throughout their future career and educational aspirations. Teaching techniques and additional means of appraising effectiveness in criminal justice education are discussed. Recommendations, resulting from these findings are provided.
