FROM THE PREFACE: “We like to believe that most of our actions are voluntary and we try to distinguish sharply between what is done voluntarily and that which we do by coercion under pressure. However anyone working with criminals detained behind high walls for the protection of society soon comes to realize that the difference between what is done voluntarily and what is done under pressure is not very clear. For many years I have wanted to write a description of what has been done in the Herstedvester Detention Centre since I became its superintendent in 1942; several times I have started but for lack of time have been unable to finish….”

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “In 1982 the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation created a small committee--the Justice Program Study Group (whose membership is listed at the end of this preface)— and posed to it what can hardly be regarded as an easy question: "What ideas, what concepts, what basic intellectual frameworks are lacking" to understand and to more effectively deal with crime in our society?

Those who are acquainted with the work of the members of the Study Group will appreciate how many divergent views were expressed-divergent to the degree that some of us came to the conclusion that we were not a Study Group at all but rather a group being studied, an odd collection of ancient experimental animals serving some dark purpose of the Foundation. Eventually, however, a surprisingly strong concurrence emerged. We found we were impressed by the extent to which in our discussions we placed heavy reliance on the products of two types of research: first, those few longitudinal studies related to juvenile delinquency and crime that had been pursued in this country and, second, a few experimental studies that had sought to measure the consequences of different official interventions in criminal careers.

These two research strategies had taught us much about crime and its control. Other strategies- case studies, cross-sectional surveys, participant observations, and similar techniques-had indeed been productive, but it was the longitudinal and experimental designs that firmed up the knowledge that the others helped to discover….”

Albert J. Reiss, Jr., and Jeffrey A. Roth, Editors

FROM THE PREFACE: “n some 200 years of national sovereignty, Americans have been preoccupied repeatedly with trying to understand and control one form of violence or another. Most periods of our history bear witness to substantial collective violence. On the road to collective bargaining and peaceful picketing, there was much violent conflict. The more rural settlements around mines were often the scene of bloody conflict, and urban industrial conflict carried with it violence on the picket lines and the destruction of company property. Perhaps the major success story in control of collective violence is the substitution of peaceful for violent means in resolving conflicts between labor and management. Urban riots are part and parcel of our history from late colonial times. In the latter half of this century, ethnic and racial tensions have erupted in urban riots, destroying life and neighborhoods of some of our major cities. Responding to urban riots in the summer of 1967, President Lyndon Johnson appointed the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders (known as the Kerner Commission after its chair, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner), which issued its report in 1968. The report focused both on how local community and national action can deal with immediate responses to riot and on long-range prevention through the reduction of inequality in housing, education, welfare…”

FROM THE FOREWORD: “…From this analysis, several important findings are evident, including: the existence of competing paradigms in research on women offenders; the possibility that women suffer more in prison than men, despite the appearance of "softer" treatment; the inappropriateness of using programs designed for men in women's facilities; the likelthood that recent higher rates of female incarceration are due more to sentencing practices than increased levels of crime; the development of a unique subculture among women Inmates, and finally, the importance of children in the majority of women inmate's lives. Through her comprehensive review, PollockByrne has done an admirable job of clarifying these findings, and providing sensible altematives to a very complex set of circumstances. This work will provide valuable guidance to both students and practitioners in the development of future policles with respect to women's prisons and the treatment of women prisoners.”

FROM THE PREFACE: “Thirty years ago, people in this country said, "We've got a crime problem. i Neve sing do ab i this even be pop tire people in would go down. Still, we went ahead with it, only to find out that as incarceration rates rose, so did the crime rate. Then we said, "This doesn't work. Let's try a few more things." We tried aggression training, education, job training, counseling, and other programs. We jumped into them all, spending billions across the country with nothing to support any realistic expectation of a reasonable retum for the dollar. Throughout these same years, criminality among our poor has risen, recidivism perpetuates, and our cities have become places where we used to live. Our state budgets have less and less to do with schools, teachers, and students-and more to do with prisons, prosecutors, and inmates…”
