FROM FOREWORD: This reader is the second of tivo recent collections of articles about moral education. The first is Purpel and Ryan's Moral Education (1976), an expansion of a set of articles written for a special reader is compiled for those actually involved in educational practice in the schools. Unlike the Purpel and Ryan book, which is designed to provide an introduction to three different approaches to moral education (the values-clarification approach, the cognitive [or rational decision-making] approach and the cognitive-developmental approach), the present book focuses on a single approach- the cognitive-developmental. (Fenton, 1976). Also valuable and unavailable elsewhere are the articles by Scharf, Hersh, Paolitto, and Selman from a special issue of Contemporary Education (Grimley, 1976).

Edited by Jonathan Burnside and Nicola Baker. Foreword by Lord Woolf.

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. Thirteen authors have come together to explore this theme bringing personal and professional perspectives to the argument. The essays challenge current thinking about the criminal justice system and are designed to encourage debate on the values underlying penal theory and practice. The book is aimed at informed practitioners but the Relational Justice reform dynamic will be of interest to all people who are concerned about crime and responses to it

FROM THE COVER: The therapeutic community at the Dannemora State Hospital "Little Siberia" in Clinton, N.Y. lasted from October 1966 to June 1972 - ironically spanning the very years of the Attica tragedy and sponsored by the same New York State Department of Corrections in association with the Clinic of Forensic Psychiatry of Montreal's McGill University. This book was written by the psychiatrist in charge, using records of the participants: articles, minutes, tapes of discussions (one fascinating chapter was written by three women therapists who describe working with men imprisoned for murder and rape). The first 50 prisoners - in all 400 would participate - were all persistent offenders ranging in age from 25 to 35. All had a history of violent crime outside and inside prison…”

By Joycelyn M. Pollock-Byrne

FROM THE PREFACE: Through the Contemporary Issues in Crime and Justice Series, students are introduced to important topics that until now have been neglected or inadequately covered and that are relevant to criminal justice, criminology, law, political science, psychology. and sociology. The authors address philosophical and theoretical issues and analyze the most recent rescarch findings and their implications for practice. Consequendy, each volume will stimulate further thirking and debate on the topics it covers, in ad. dition to providing direction for the development and implementation of policy.

The topic of ethics has always been of critical importance to the field of criminal justice and criminology. Judging from recent reports of frequent ethical violations throughout the criminal justice system, this primer on morality, chics, and human behavior could not be more timely. The sensitivity and critical nature of the subject matter makes it secan surprising that greater attention has not been devoted to this topic. Since no similar text is currently available, this work represents the breaking of new ground, for which Joycelyn M. Pollock-Byrne is to be commended.
