FROM THE PREFACE: “This book is about industrial democracy in an American corporation. Throughout I will be referring to the term democracy in a somewhat extreme form in relation to the current usage of the word in American theories of organization. I have not considered workers' participation as merely a progressive management technique or a vague approach to a more "humanized" work place. Although I am not condemning these innovations for the ends they seek, it is nevertheless the case that most American experiments in this vein have taken advantage of the symbolic value of "democracy" while not applying the basic principles of democracy as it is conceived in political theory.”

FROM THE FOREWORD BY GORDON ALLPORT: “Although written at various times between the years 193s and 1946, the thirteen chapters here arranged for publication provide a logical progression of thought. They dovetail so well that they seem almost to have been written intentionally for publication in a single volume. The unifying theme is unmistakable: the group to which an individual belongs is the ground for his perceptions, his feelings, and his actions. Most psychologists are so preoccupied with the salient features of the individual's mental life that they are prone to forget it is the ground of the social group that gives to the individual his figured character.

By Chief Anthony V. Bouza (Ret.)

FROM THE JACKET: The prevalence of crime and violence in our culture is all too visible in the crack-ridden streets of our cities. Chief Anthony V. Bouza, recently retired Chief of Police in Minneapolis and former Commander of Police in the Bronx, is one of the leading authorities and innovative thinkers on crime in this country. As an insider he gives the reader a candid tour of the police force -a world more often than not shrouded in silence. In a no-nonsense yet highly articulate manner, Chief Bouza reveals the underpinnings of the police force, where even the lowest man on the totem pole has more power - the power of life and death -than any CEO. He also demonstrates how the safety and future of our cities ultimately lie in the hands of the chief of police. As head of the department, the chief sets the tone and establishes the rules regulating all police behavior. In a society filled with ambiguous and changing values, Chief Bouza tackles many highly charged issues. How should officers react to calls from wives whose lives are threatened by their spouses? Should the right to bear arms include access to automatic weapons? Is a cop on every corner the answer to most of society's ills? Bouza answers…..

FROM THE ABSTRADT: “The sexual revolution (generally characterized as a liberalization in sexual attitudes and behavior) has been much publicized in both the scientific and popular literature. The present study is an attempt to measure the awareness of and responsiveness to sex in college freshmen and sophomore women who have presumably been exposed to this liberalization movement. Responsiveness to sexual stimuli was Investigated using three techniques. (1) The Draw A Person Test and (2) a Sentence Completion Test designed to elicit sexual material were administered to one hundred and four freshmen and eighty-one sophomore women. From this group, forty freshmen and forty sophomore women--designated as high or low sex responders--were tested in (3) a binocular rivalry stereoscopic situation for perception of sex words…”

FROM TE ABSTRACT: “According to the theory of cognitive controls (Klein, 1951), leveling-sharpening represents an important dimension of cognitive structure. It is believed that memory traces of previous stimuli fuse or assimilate, and that they do so more for some individuals (levelers) than others (sharpeners). This supposedly leads the former to differentiate less among successive stimuli than the latter. The Squares Test, designed by Holman and Klein (1951), generally serves as the criterion task for the concept leveling-sharpening. The test consists of a series of 150 squares of light projected successively onto a black screen in an almost completely darkened room. The squares range in size from 1.2 to 13.7 inches and the series is made up of 10 overlapping subseries. Subseries 1 involves the 5 smallest sizes (presented in 3 different orders), and the series progresses in stepwise fashion from the smallest to the largest squares so that Subseries 10 includes only the 5 largest sized squares. Subjects (Ss) are required to estimate the size of each square…”

FROM THE ABSTRACT: Within the literature produced by several student movements some very specific complaints pertaining to the social structure of the university appear. Two student movements on two different campuses were viewed with regard to complaints about the social structure of the university. The activist students complained that they were socially separated from the faculty, from the administrators and from other students. It was hypothesized that students would be connected to other students, faculty members and administrators by the longest informal communication channels. On the basis of Leavitt's (1958) study, it was also hypothesized that administrators would have the shortest informal communication channels to other administrators, faculty and students. The technique used in the present study to measure the length of informal communication channels was first used by Milgram (1967). Milgram called the technique the "Small World Method."….”

FROM THE COVER: “Marxist thought has profoundly affected the growth of modern criminology. The social and economic determinism in Marx heavily influenced Enrico Ferri, one of criminology's founding positivists. Today's positivists continue that tradition in their search for the sociological causes of crime. Yesterday's radicals, the positivists, have become today's traditionalists. And today's radicals once again proclaim Marx as their guide. This book demonstrates how today's Marxist criminologists have broadened their vision. In addition to crime causation, they examine the political and economic interests that influence the formation of law and justice. Power, alienation, capital and many other classic Marxist concepts have been revived and applied to a radical understanding of punishment, corrections, police and the administration of justice.

This dissertation explores the relationship between the environmental preferences and aversions of men in prison and the characteristics of prison subsettings perceived by prisoners as meeting such concerns. The relationship between a stressed prisoner and a perceived ameliorative feature in a subsetting is termed "niche". The study is concerned with the personal meanings that prisoners impose on prison settings, and with understanding the personal susceptibilities and setting characteristics that combine to produce such meanings….”

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “The purpose of this study is to examine the environmentcentered preferences of prison inmates who are at high risk of maladaptation, and to explore the relationship between these preferences and the inmates' adaptation to prison. The 33 male inmates in this study have all been identified at some juncture as having experienced some difficulty adapting to prison. In this case, all the inmates engaged in at least one parasuicide? during their incarceration. These inmates can be considered to be at high risk for future maladaptation in prison. Without assistance, some of these high risk inmates may adapt reasonably well to prison. However, it is likely that a portion of this group will experience some difficulties in adapting to prison. Through examining the adaptation of these high risk inmates as well as their concerns and preferences related to the environment, it was hoped that information would be discovered that would aid in the identification and treatment of those inmates at risk for continued maladaptation…Extreme, prolonged stress can create difficulties for many people; the prison environment is no exception to this…”

FROM THE PREFACE: “This book is an organizational approach to the problems of people living in the slums and inner areas of our large cities. It is concerned mainly with youth and delinquency; but the ideas, principles, and techniques for community action discussed in it are relevant to other social problems which afflict those trapped in the ghettoes. The point of view of the book is social work; at the same time a wide variety of perspectives of community problem solving is examined. New structures, strategies, and tactics have evolved from the anti-poverty programs, civil rights movement, black power struggles, new types of grass-roots organizing, and large scale social planning, but have not been fully explored for their possible use in social work practice. The present work does not pretend to prescribe an appropriate social work methodology to community work

By Barbara A. Rockell

FROM THE COVER: “ Barbara Rockell's beautifully readable book offers representative narratives of the careers of women who gravitate through the revolving doors of our jails. In these "bittersweet" accounts Rockell highlights heretofore neglected observations drawn from the lives of these women, such as the fact that one "witnesses] among them choice; rationality; and, more important, a great deal of resilience." Although Rockell's monograph includes painstaking reviews of the published scholarship in sociology, women's studies, and criminology, her perspective is both original and credible, and this combination makes her book not only a great read but a refreshing source of ideas and an indispensable addendum to the literature.” -Hans Toch, PhD, Distinguished Professor, University at Albany, State University of New York, Albany

FROM THE JACKET: “This is the first systematic inquiry into the causes and effects of male sexual aggression in prisons- a severe problem found in penal institutions. Based on extensive interviews with aggressors, victims and staff, Prison Serval Violence discusses such topics as the psychological impact of sexual threats and attacks on victims, victim selection, rates of victimization, target violence and staff handling of the problem.

By Anne Campbell

FROM THE JACKET: “Why are men more aggressive than women? To find out, psychologist and criminologist Anne Campbell listened to the voices of ordinary men and women, as well as people for whom aggression is a central fact of life--robbers and gang members. The answer, she argues, lies not only in biology or in child rearing but in how men and women form opinions about their own aggression. Women believe their aggression results from a loss of self-control, while men see their behavior as a means of gaining control over others. Daughters are deeply ashamed when they get angry, but sons learn to associate aggression with integrity, courage, and triumph.

Campbell shows how men's and women's different views of anger and restraint profoundly affect their actions--from rage in marriage to violence in the streets--and what this means for us all. The misreading of the meaning of aggression drives a wedge between the sexes, affecting everything from their ability to communicate with each other to the way that traditionally male-dominated spheres such as law or medicine pathologize and punish women's aggression.”

FROM THE PREFACE: “"Don't look back," Satchel Paige advised, "something might be gaining on you." Yet, of necessity, this book regards the future by looking over its shoulder at the past. In any consideration of the social institution of imprisonment especially in any attempt to change it--the weight of history must be placed in the balance. The recentexcellent works of David Rothman, Michel Foucault, and Michael Ignatieff have confirmed the importance of a historical perspective on any era's policy prescriptions.

This is, however, explicitly a policy book. In Chapter 5, the analysis of the past is allowed to inform some recommendations which mesh liberal and conservative views. Although in some cases we have been driven back to original sources, this is not a work of primary social history in which lessons are inferred from a mass of detail. Ours is an idiosyncratic view of the constraints imposed by traditions on future choices, and its policy lessons are not shared by many of the historians on whose work we have tried to build.”

FROM CHAPTER 1; “The imprisonment of women in Britain and the United States today reflects the end product of a process that has its roots in early nineteenth-century British prisons. Confining women and men in prisons, asylums and workhouses was thought to be the best way of dealing with many of the problems that beset society including social unrest and crime. A prison was meant to be a world that would lead to physical discipline and moral transformation. From the very beginning, women in prison were treated differently from men, considered more morally depraved and corrupt and in need of special, closer forms of control and confinement. They became a pariah class, separate and distinct from the ideal, chaste and morally correct women of the Victorian era and this continues even today…”

By Lynne Zimmer

The hiring of women as guards in men’s prisons represents a major breakthrough in women’s efforts to achieve full sexual equality in the workplace. This dramatic social change has required great flexibility on the part of the women guards as well as substantial adjustments by their male counterparts, prison administrators, and the inmates themselves. In the first comprehensive study of this phenomenon, Lynn Zimmer examines the experiences of the women and men involved in the painful process of transition from a segregated to an integrated prison environment. Women Guarding Men is significant not only for its vivid depiction of their trials, but for its contribution to a general theory of women’s occupational and organizational behavior.

FROM THE INTRODUCTION OF VOLUME 1: “This book addresses the legal issues that affect the mentally disordered inmate. Charters 1 and 2 set out the boundaries of the problem and give an overview of the legal issues generally. Chapters 3 and 4 provide a broad review of the laws governing the legal identity and basic rights of prisoners, including the right to treatment where a serious medical need exists and how that right carries over to a serious mental disorder. Subsequent chapters address in greater detail the problems in these areas and the legal discussions and holdings pertaining to them. The chapters provide extensive citations to leading cases and specific guidance on the legal obligations and duties of those who supervise or treat mentally disordered inmates, the rights of the incarcerated mentally ill, and best policies and practices. Problems related to specific populations are treated in detail. For example, Chapter 20 covers juvenile detainees and inmates and the special situations to which their cases can give rise. Chapter 21 covers sexual predators, discussing among other things the legal complexities associated with the rise of sex offender treatment programs.
