    Abstract

    Modern correctional leaders are challenged by immediate country and system-specific dynamics and demands. Also, few countries can ignore the evolving international norms that shape international, national and system-based regulatory and auditing practices within their bailiwicks. For example, the recent international developments such as Nelson Mandela Rules (United Nations General Assembly Resolution 70/175 of 2015) human rights guidelines for correctional administrators formerly known as the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners. In this first chapter, the issue of leadership is contextualised by presenting the structure of the book and the main themes explored throughout.
