In the light of widespread disillusionment with current measures to tackle crime, this book takes up a neglected theme at the heart of justice: the need to repair relationships damaged by crime, particularly those between victims and offenders.

The essays challenge current thinking about the criminal justice system and are designed to encourage debate on the values underlying penal theory and practice.

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “From the outset, it was intended to provide maximum security in that patients were to be prevented from escaping. Some of the precautions that were part of "maximum security" in the early days were learned from other institutions, and were incorporated into the architecture and the hospital routine from the beginning. In the early years there were some escapes and some suicides, which led to such increases in security as safety screens for windows, posting staff around the yard, guardhouses, lear gas guns, and reduction of the size of the outside work gang.

As in most maximum security psychiatric facilities, the patients in Oak Ridge today are a diverse group. Some of them have only been sent on a warrant of remand for 30 or 60 days for an assessment prior to retuming to court…”

The text uses the sociological theory of law to predict and explain police behavior in such settings as police patrol, investigations, and the handling of vice, juveniles, traffic, and rebellion. The text considers how cases come to the attention of police and other legal officials and indicates the implications of these patterns for social control through law. The field study was conducted in Boston, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., during the summer of 1966. Thirty-six observers with backgrounds in law, social science, and police administration systematically recorded routine encounters between uniformed patrol officers and citizens. The observers accompanied patrol officers on all work shifts everyday for 7 weeks in each city. (Evening shifts were given added weight because of their known higher rates of police activity.) From the total of 5,713 recorded incidents, subsamples were selected to determine how official crime rates are generated and how police handle disputes between such persons as husbands and wives, parents and children, and neighbors. This report and analysis discusses these findings along with more recent research. Although the text notes the growing demand for dispute settlement in the United States by police, it delineates techniques by which people are encouraged to handle their own conflicts instead of relying on those in authority. Strategies that ultimately encourage self-help include cutting back on police response to domestic and 'street corner' disputes, designing of physical space to maximize natural surveillance, and introducing electronic communication.
