A propos de cet article

Dust jacket large pieces missing, 1/3rd of spine missing. Dusty red cloth with bright titles on spine. 312 pages. Do our "correctional institutions" really correct? Or do they only harden criminal tendencies? What can be done -to reduce the great human and ecOnomic cost of penal institutions, and at the same time assure society that the correctional measures taken will effectively benefit the particular individuals involved? John P. Conrad sought an answer to these questions in Russia, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Canada, and various parts of the United States, where he visited prisons, probation agencies, criminal and juvenile courts, and criminological institutes. A colleague, Dr. Clyde E. Sullivan, made similar investigations in Germany, France, Italy and other parts of the United States.

The resulting book is a realistic account of current correctional practices in Europe and the United States as well as an expression of ideas about needed reforms. Conrad reports that the basic correctional process, aimed at firm but humane execution of the law, is remarkably similar in the countries studied. However, advanced practices, based on the findings of behavioral science and aimed at effecting changes of behavior, are found in relatively few institutions. And when they are used, they seem related to the pressure of numbers on a system. This study was sponsored by the Institute for the Study of Crime and Delinquency of Sacramento, California, and financed by the Ford Foundation. MR. CONRAD has been with the California Department of Corrections and Youth Authority for eighteen years as a parole officer, institutional administrator, departmental administrator and chief of research. He holds degrees from the University of California and the University of Chicago, and has been a senior Fulbright Fellow at the London School of Economics. Size: 4to. …
