Understanding and Controlling Crime: Toward a New Research Strategy

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

David P. Farrington Lloyd E. Ohlin James Q. Wilson

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….”

A Primer in Radical Criminology

By Michael J. Lynch and W. Byron Groves

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.

Preparing Convicts for Law-Abiding Lives: The Pioneering Penology of Richard A. McGee

USED. MAY CONTAIN MARK-UP

By Daniel Glaser

From the Foreword: “How have governments dealt with persons convicted of crimes? How should this change? Answers to these questions are offered here in describing and assessing the career of Richard A. McGee (1897-1983), who was one of the most successful promoters of ways to control crime, yet alwaysdissatisfied with what he achieved. McGee's work in corrections began in 1931 as director of education in a federal prison. From 1935 to 1941 he supervised New York City penal facilities, then headed the Department of Public Institutions for the state of Washington, and from 1944 until his retirement in 1967, he directed California's state correctional programs. Throughout his years in justice agencies, and in retirement, McGee published extensively, and had numerous national and international offices and honors. This book draws much from his lucid writings.”

Violence In Sardinia

By Franco Ferracuti, Renato Lazzari And Marvin .E Wolfgang (Eds.)

From the Foreword: “It is with great pleasure that I have accepted the task of presenting the work of a well coordinated group of scholars, of proven competency, on the problem of Sardinian violence. The research project has been conducted jointly by the Center for Studies in Criminology and Criminal Law of the University of Pennsylvania and by the Institute of Psychology of the Medical School of the University of Rome, and has called on the collaboration of scholars from other fields and other universities, to broaden the content of the study. The generous assistance of the Ford Foundation had made the study possible. Violent behavior is now in the limelight both of public and scient- ific interest. The research attempts an analysis of Sardinian violence in the frame of reference of the theoretical construct which two of the authors (M.E. Wolfgang and F. Ferracuti) have identified, in previous publications, as the subculture of violence.
