PB Bloomsbury Academic YR 2014 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/784050015 AB "Rehabilitation and Probation in England and Wales, 1900-1950 draws on a wide range of archive material to describe the arrival of a modern probation service. Focusing on the first half of the twentieth century, it describes the debates, conflicts and compromises that resulted in the creation of a state sponsored, centrally controlled, professional, secular, social work and psychological based agency. Following a chronological structure, Ray Gard explores the arrival of the so-called period of 'penal optimism', showing how rehabilitation arrived in the courts of England and Wales. The book uses archive and original material to give voice to those devising and implementing policy, revealing an uneven path to a modern probation system"-- NO Includes bibliographical references (pages [241] - 251) and index CN HV9346.A5 SN 9781472526328 K1 Criminals : Rehabilitation : England : History K1 Criminals : Rehabilitation : Wales : History K1 Probation : England : History K1 Probation : Wales : History K1 England : Wales : Täter : Strafaussetzung : Resozialisierung : Geschichte 1876-1962
