Chapter

Abstract

This chapter focuses on a variety of social institutions, all of which share several important characteristics: all serve specific populations (e. g., students, elderly, inmates); all are intended to serve particular social/behavioral functions (e. g., education, medical care, rehabilitation); and with the exception of most educational environments, they are all what have been characterized as “total institutions.”
