Summary |
"The Review, Vol. 1, No. 6, June 1911" by Various is a monthly periodical published by the National Prisoners’ Aid Association, representing an early 20th-century perspective on societal issues related to crime and rehabilitation. The content reflects on contemporary themes such as the treatment of delinquents, the necessity of reforming prisons and jails, and the importance of addressing mental defects in relation to criminal behavior. The likely topic of the book revolves around prison reform, criminal psychology, and socio-legal discussions from a historical viewpoint. The issue features a compilation of papers prepared for the National Conference of Charities and Correction, focusing on various aspects of criminal justice reform. It discusses the need for better treatment of mental defectives who also exhibit delinquent behaviors, the urgent call for the abolition of local jails, and the improvement of probation systems for misdemeanants. Contributors emphasize the ineffectiveness of current jail systems and advocate for the establishment of state-run institutions to better handle cases of delinquency. The text also highlights the importance of understanding mental health in the context of criminal behavior, calling for a shift towards more compassionate and rehabilitative approaches in the treatment of offenders. Overall, this periodical serves as a historical document reflecting an early advocacy for humane treatment of delinquents and the institutional responsibility of state systems in addressing crime.
