This is a continuation of " British Slavery and its Abolition, 1823-1838,” which was published in 1926, and the work would have appeared earlier if my attention had not been diverted to the slave trade. From the dates it will be seen that I have confined myself to the first eleven years of emancipation, which constitute its initial phase. The Sugar Act of 1846 had the same effect on the agriculture of the West Indian colonies as had the Corn Act of the same year on the agriculture of the home country; and the new regime was not permanently established till the planters had lost both the main supports of their former system—their slaves and their monopoly of the home market. In other words, the period is marked off by two crises, opening with the crisis of emancipation and closing with that of free trade. The Sugar Act, which provided for the gradual scaling down of protection, was revised in 1848, and was not secured against further alteration till the resistance to it in Jamaica and British Guiana had been abandoned in 1849.

Beccarias little book, On Crimes and Punishments, was so influential that many nations of Europe changed parts of their constitutions while the author was still alive. In America of the revolutionary period, the little book was more influential than any other single book, its spirit incorporated in documents such as the Declarations of Cause and of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. John Adams quoted from it as early as 1768; later, the same Adams quotes Beccaria in both English and in Italian. Jefferson made extensive usage of the book, as did many other prominent Americans of this period. It may be a surprise to many students and historians alike that Beccaria’s little book was published in America long before any book of men such as Voltaire, Rousseau, and Montesquieu, to name just a few.

In this work dedicated to the memory of Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850), Leonard E. Read explores an array of themes such as the sources of human progress, the political consequences of not thinking for one’s self, and finding what is right and wrong. Bastiat’s first rule, Read states, was obedience to conscience before all else. Bastiat worked to advance concepts that were wildly unpopular in his native France but did not give up in his pursuit of what he thought was right. In this way, Leonard E. Read advances Frederic Bastiat’s tradition and legacy by highlighting these matters and applying them to the importance of individual liberty.

From the $700 billion bailout of the banking industry to president Barack Obama’s $787 billion stimulus package to the highly controversial passage of federal health-care reform, conservatives and concerned citizens alike have grown increasingly fearful of big government. Enter Nobel Prize–winning economist and political theorist F. A. Hayek, whose passionate warning against empowering states with greater economic control, The Road to Serfdom, became an overnight sensation last summer when it was endorsed by Glenn Beck. The book has since sold over 150,000 copies.

The first series of the International Library of Criminology, Criminal Justice and Penology has established itself as a major research resource by bringing together the most significant journal essays in contemporary criminology, criminal justice and penology. The series made available to researchers, teachers and students an extensive range of essays which are indispensable for obtaining an overview of the latest theories and findings in this fast changing subject. Indeed the rapid growth of interesting scholarly work in the field has created a demand for a second series which like the first consists of volumes dealing with criminological schools and theories as well as with approaches to particular areas of crime criminal justice and penology. Each volume is edited by a recognised authority who has selected twenty or so of the best journal articles in the field of their special competence and provided an informative introduction giving a summary of the field and the relevance of the articles chosen. The original pagination is retained for ease of reference. The difficulties of keeping on top of the steadily growing literature in criminology are complicated by the many disciplines from which its theories and findings are drawn (sociology, law, sociology of law, psychology, psychiatry, philosophy and economics are the most obvious). The development of new specialisms with their own journals (policing, victimology, mediation) as well as the debates between rival schools of thought (feminist criminology, left realism, critical criminology, abolitionism etc.) make necessary overviews that offer syntheses of the state of the art.

Can crime be cured—or must it always be punished?

In Curing the Criminal: A Treatise on the Philosophy and Practices of Modern Correctional Methods, Jesse O. Stutsman offers one of the most ambitious reformist visions of the early twentieth century. Writing in an age of optimism about science and psychology, Stutsman argues that offenders are not beyond redemption but can be guided, educated, and rehabilitated. He calls for prisons to function as clinics, where work, education, and moral training replace idleness and despair. His treatise blends philosophy with practical strategies, insisting that true justice requires transformation, not vengeance.

Paired in spirit with later works such as Graeme Newman’s The Punishment Response, which reveals the deep human roots of our urge to punish, Stutsman’s book invites readers to reconsider the purpose of punishment itself. Should society cling to retribution, or strive toward cure? Nearly a century after its first appearance, this question is more urgent than ever.

Both a historical landmark and a timeless challenge, Curing the Criminal reminds us that the measure of a civilization lies in how it treats its most troubled members.

This book is the result of the twelfth annual convention of the International Studies Association which was held March 17-20, 1970, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Although we have subsequently asked a few additional people to contribute, most of the chapters were prepared for and presented at several sessions of the ISA convention, the participants having been invited and the panels organized by William J. Foltz and Leo Kuper, in addition to the editors.

Our theme was “Ethnicity in Nation-Building, Regional Integration, and International Conflict,” and our discussions turned out to be among those happy intellectual occasions when a deep, common interest in a given subject matter washes away disciplinary distinctions. This was especially important because we are an interdisciplinary group composed of political scientists, sociologists, historians, community developers, anthropologists, and planners.

We were also gladdened by the sun, sand, and sea of the Caribbean and we all owe much for the pleasant surroundings, both physical and intellectual, to theProgram Officers—Basil A. Ince, Fred W. Riggs, and Luis Vega. After the conference, the idea of bringing these papers together in a published volume was encouraged by Norman D. Palmer, Richard C. Snyder, and John E. Turner.

We wish to thank Lorraine Estra, of Yale University, and Kay McClellan Richard Gold, and Carol Gold, all of Pennsylvania State University, for editorial assistance. The first editor also wishes to thank the National Science Foundation for a grant (GS-2637) under which he was able to take the time to work on this volume.

China is the only existing independent nation that can claim to have been a contemporary of the great empires of antiquity— Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon. To these great powers, however, she apparently owed nothing. Shut in on the west by the loftiest mountains in the world, protected on the north by the deserts of Taklamakan and Gobi, and on the east and south by the restless sea, the Chinese people in seclusion developed a civilization that was in nothing inferior to the best that these great empires could show. In the long period of time covered by their history they met with problems similar in character to those encountered by men elsewhere. Dr. Thomas says very truly that “it no longer shocks our habits of thought to assume that man, acting as is his right as a ‘political animal,’ has responded to a given s

To be a good father, mother, brother, sister, or friend; To be a dependable, faithful, and skilled worker in home, school, field, factory, or office; To be an intelligent, honest, useful, and loyal citizen, with faith in God and love of fellowman; To recognize the brotherhood of man and to five by the Golden Rule— These are the aspirations that have brought happiness and achievement to the America we all love. These are the aspirations that must help us find our way to new glory and grace in the midst of worldwide change. A great civilization must have its roots in the soil of the past and its branches reaching to the stars of the future. Otherwise it lacks the experience and motive necessary for noble achievement in the present. Has the nation lost its way? Let it return again to the faith of its youth. This faith is found at its best in the lives and writings of great leaders who have quickened and purified the national spirit.

This inaugural issue of Policing: a Journal of Policy and Practice launches with a bang. First, it is devoted to the topic that is at the top of policing agendas throughout the world: the response to global mass—casualty terrorism, epitomized by, but far from restricted to, the attacks of September 11 2001. Secondly, it sets a precedent for what we hope will be the defin- ing characteristic of this journal: an informed conversation between practitioners and aca- demics.

A biography of Father Edward Flanagan's birth in rural Ireland, the founding and growth of his world-famous Boys Town, and his global travels following World War II to advocate for youth.

This is the tale of Edward Flanagan, a young Irish lad shepherding a flock of sheep on a farm in Ballymoe, who became the famed Father Flanagan, founder of America's Boys Town, guardian of thousands of orphaned, neglected, and abandoned boys, and adviser to presidents.

From a large Irish family, Flanagan suffered through ill health and setbacks to pursue his desire to join the priesthood. Following his older brother and fellow priest to the plains of Nebraska, he served several parishes and opened a hotel for homeless men before finding his life's mission to care for and give a voice to young boys whom society had despaired of and cast aside. Father Flanagan opened his home in 1917 for boys of any race and creed. In this definitive biography, the authors recount his struggles with drought, fire, lack of funds, and skeptical citizens to create a safe haven for these boys.

The treaties to suppress the slave trade were the subject of intense legal battles in the first half of the 19th century. This book explores the legal disputes about the Anglo Brazilian treaty to highlight the political importance of what initially looks like mere argumentative hurdles over the rules and proceedings regarding the search and capture of ships. It reveals the complex legal translations of state inequality, abolition and slavery, as well as war and peace.

Human trafficking has generated intense global concern, with stories of sex slavery and images of women forced into prostitution so persuasive that states have raced to respond ahead of empirical data and clear definitions of the crime. In Trafficking Rhetoric, Annie Hill analyzes the entanglement of state veneration and state violence by tracking how the United Kingdom points to the alleged crimes of others in order to celebrate itself and conceal its own aggression. Hill compares the UK’s acclaimed rescue approach to human trafficking with its hostile approach to migration, arguing that they are two sides of the same coin—one that relies on rhetorical constructions of “trafficked women” and “illegal migrants” to materialize the UK as an Anglo-white space.Drawing from official estimates, policy papers, NGO reports, news stories, and awareness campaigns and situating them in the broader EU context, Hill accounts for why the UK’s anti-trafficking agenda emerged with such rhetorical force in the early twenty-first century. Trafficking Rhetoric reframes controversies over labor, citizenship, and migration while challenging the continued traction of race-baiting and gender bias in determining who has the right to live, work, and belong in the nation.
