Prisoners of Society: Attitudes and After-Care
An awareness that the effects of prison on offenders were rarely beneficial and may be positively harmful. In this title, first published in 1974, it is argued that there was still the need in society for a commitment, not to reform its deviant members, but to provide a compassionate service in those situations where it was most needed.
