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.

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 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

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 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…”

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.

FROM THE FOREWORD: “…We also learn about the impact of societal definitions, even on such a secret and anonymous activity as the tearoom. Humphreys shows us that the structure of interaction there is adapted to the proscribed nature of the conduct that takes place and to the threats of the outside world (police, wise teenagers, or unsuspecting passers-by). We discover that the highly constrained interaction within the tearoom is a function not only of the desires of the participants to limit their involvement but also of stigmatization of their activity. Activity in the tearooms is organized to make what is highly stigmatized seem matter of fact and taken for granted…”

FROM THE FOREWORD: “The following monographs were selected from the group describing an experiment in penology made at the Norfolk Prison Colony in Massachu¬setts. Mr. Howard B. Sill, Superintendent of the Colony from 1928 to 1934, organized and directed it. The Bureau of Social Hygiene, Inc., granted funds to the Department of Correction of the Commonwealth for the purpose of employing per¬sons qualified to observe and report upon the reeult8 of the experiment. Later, upon special request, the Bureau agreed to allow part of the grant to be uBed to aid in organizing the ex¬periment. The group employed to observe and help organize the project was later known aa the Re¬search Group, and consisted of men representing many professions and academic disciplines. The members of this group ranged from college pro¬fessors to student assistants and they included sociologists, penologists, psychologists, theo¬logians, engineers, lawyers, physicians, statis¬ticians, and social workers. Almost every one of the group participated in the collection of data and in the presentation of short reports, on various aspects of the experiment. The authors of the following monographs compiled and used material contributed by former and contemporary members of the Research Group but with freedom to select, analyze, and interpret.”

FROM CHAPTER 1: “The workday begins early. Sometime after seven o'clock a black limousine glides out of the garage of the police station on the corner, moves less than a block, and stops in front of a weathered pink bungalow at 3536 South Lowe Avenue.Policeman Alphonsus Gilhooly, walking in front of the house, nods to the detective at the wheel of the limousine.It's an unlikely house for such a car. A passing stranger might think that a rich man had come back to visit his people in the old neighborhood. It's the kind of sturdy brick house, common to Chicago, that a fireman or printer would buy.Thousands like it were put up by contractors in the 1920s and 1930s from standard blueprints in an architectural style fondly dubbed "carpenter'sdelight." The outside of that pink house is deceiving. The inside is furnished in expensive Colonial-style furniture, the basement paneled in fine wood, and two days a week a woman comes in to help with the cleaning….”

They are not the workers, nor are they the white-collar people in the usual, clerk sense of the word. These people only work for The Organization. The ones I am talking about belong to it as well. They are the ones of our middle class who have left home, spiritually as well as physically, to take the vows of organization life, and it is they who are the mind and soul of our great self- perpetuating institutions.

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 democ- racy as it is conceived in political theory.”

FROM CHAPETR ONE: “This book is written primarily for organizations that try to change people adjudged delinquent or criminal. It may also prove useful to establishments for persons regarded as addicted, psychotic, retarded, or any other designations of deviance, provided their clients are considered modifiable, so that they may be helped to merit such labels as "reformed." "cured." "rehabilitated," "normal," "educated," "trained," or, minimally, "improved." Our concern is with organizations for example, prisons, probation offices, treatment centers, hospitals, clinics, and training schools- which proclaim that one of their objectives is to make their clients no longer deviant, or less deviant than previously.”

Most of the people in the United States will work, or have worked, forty or more years. To be concerned about the worker is to be concerned about the aged who, through their labors, brought this Nation to its present level of affluence and well- being; about the youth who have yet to choose from among a thousand occupations; about the disabled and others who are unable to participate in the economic, social, and psychologi- cal rewards of work; about the new role of women in our society; and about the rest of us who depart from our homes and return and who seek to fill the time in between with meaning. ful and well-recompensed activities….

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: Chicago, home of some of the world's biggest criminals, has also been wheresome ofthe world's best criminologists have worked. But while the former, from Al Capone to the Blackstone Rangers, have been highly visible to the public, the criminologist's audience has been much smaller, more academic than public; this in spite of the enormous interest Americans have in crime and our belief, though often skeptical, that knowledge--or science, at any rate--is power, and necessary to an educated public in a democracy.
