FROM THE INTRODUCTION: ” A Good pair of simultaneous equations for the student of comparative corrections to keep in mind is:
Interdisciplinary is Good Custodial is Bad.
I mention this algebra now because I intend to subiect the interdisci- plinary concept to an abrasive treatment which may open questions about my loyalties. I believe in these equations. Purely custodial insti- tutions constitute nearly all non-interdisciplinary endeavor in corrections. Custodial correctional practice is making no strides to anywhere.

This is a study of national character as well as an investigation of the Scandinavian suicide phenomenon. Denmark, Sweden, and Norway have all been described as "social welfare states" and they are related historically as well as geographically. Yet the suicide rates in Denmark and Sweden are among the world's highest and are almost three times the strikingly low suicide rate inNorway. Seeking to understand this phenomenon, D.r Herbert Hendin of the Columbia University Psychoanalytic Clinic undertook a four-year study of suicide ni the Scandinavian countries. Using psychoanalytic techniques, he interviewed suicidal and non-suicidal patients as well as non-patients. He correlates the picture of the Norwegian, Swede, and Dane that emerges from Suicide and Scandinavia with the literature and folk tales of each country and also with such sources of popular culture as cartoons and stories in women's magazines.

FROM THE FORWARD: 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 themost successful promoters of ways to control crime, yet always dissatisfied 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.

FROM THE PREFACE: Diligence and care must be exercised in selecting the right kind of sentence to help a defendant become a law-abiding, self-respecting, responsible person. The presentence investigation report, with which this monograph deals, is an indispensable aid to the court in arriving at a sentence that will serve the best interests of the defendant, his family, and society. Recognized authorities in the judicial and correctional fields recommend that apresentence report be preparedon all offenders, regard- less of the nature of the offense.

FROM THE COVER: “Law And The Modern Mind appeared in 1930 and, in the words of Judge Charles E. Clark, it "fell like a bomb on the legal world." In the generation since, its influence has grown rather than diminished, until today it isaccepted as aclassic of general jurisprudence. The work is a bold and persuasive attack on the delusion that The Law is a bastion of predic- table and logical action. Judge Frank's controversial thesis is that the decisions made by judge and jury are determined to an enormous extent by powerful, concealed, and highly idiosyncratic psychological prejudices that these arbiters bring to the courtroom. He points out that all legal verdicts result from the application of known legal rules to the facts of the suit-a procedure that sounds utterly methodical and uncapricious. But, Judge Frank argues, because profound, immeasurable biases will strongly influence the judge and jury's reaction to a witness, lawyer, or litigant, we can never know what they will believe "the facts of the suit" to be.”

A case study in Organization Development. By Marvin Weisbord, Howard Lamb and Allan Drexler.

From the Preface: “For the past five years, I have practiced what goes loosely by the name of "organization development," or O.D. The term O. D. means all sorts of things to different people. To those who practice it its meanings include a point of view, a set of values, and a kit bag of technolo- gies for helping people in organizations to do better whatever it is they're trying to do. In general, the viewpoint of O.D. consultants is strongly influenced by the behavioral sciences. It is also influenced by what we were doing before they started consulting, what kinds of people we are, and what we know how to do best.

From the cover: “Sane Asylum is the true account of San Francisco's De- lancey Street Foundation, where former hookers, junkies, thieves, and murderers operate their own restaurant, mov- ing company, credit union, florist shop, and high school. Author and psycho-sociologist Charles Hampden-Turner came to observe the country's most successful rehabilita- tion center and was so intrigued that he stayed for a year. Recorded here is the human drama of which he became a part; the remoldingof lives and "games" members of the community are required to play searching out their inner selves. He also provides a fascinating portrait of Delancey Street's director, "a charismatic, tough-talking, street character; a macho, irreverent Irish-Bronx ex-con named John Maher. A fascinating account forall readers, Sane Asylum is an affectionate, totally honest look at America's pioneer com- munity in social rehabilitation- one which is succeeding where all the others have failed.”

From the Introduction: “…Knowing that many participants from other countries have similar interests, it was decided to prepare this document on new and promising measures found in the United States with reference to the last three topics on the 1965 United Nations Congress agenda, namely:

• Measures to combat recidivism (with particular reference to adverse conditions of detention pending trial and inequality in the Administration of Justice.)

• Probation (especially adult probation) and other noninstitutional measures.

• Social preventive and treatment measures for young adults”

From the Preface: “When the social historian of the future looks back to the first half of the twentieth century with the detachment that comes with the passage of time, it will by then be apparent that amongst the revolutionary changes to be credited to that period, two at least were of vital importance to the development of humanism: the liberation of psychology from thefetters of aconscious rationalism, and the subsequent emancipation of sociology from the more primitive superstitions and moralistic conceptions of crime. It will also be apparent that this twin movement towards a new liberalism owed its impetus to the researches of a late- Victorian scientist, Sigmund Freud, who first uncovered the unconscious roots ofthat uniquely human reaction which goes by the name of 'guilt' and which is responsible for a brood of moralistic concepts, including those of sin, punishment, expiation and the sacrifice of scapegoats.”

By Eli B. Silverman

From the cover: “"In NYPD Battles Crime Eli B. Silverman analyzes the managerial underpinnings of the Giuliani revolution, epitomized, in his view, by the innovative crime-tracking system known as 'Compstat.' Mr. Silverman argues that previous police reforms paved the way for Giuliani's success; his book, however, is of greater interest in showing just how radical a departure the new crime philosophy was. ... [It] is a delight to read about a wildly successful--if, in retrospect, self-evident-idea: that policing is helpless without both data and the means to hold officers accountable for acting on it." -Heather MacDonald, Wall Street Journal

"Silverman has done a masterful job here, combining encyclopedic knowledgeof the politics and history of the city and the NYPD with unprecedented access at every departmental level, a first-rate academician's keen eye and objectivity, and the street smarts and candor of a life-long New Yorker. The result is a volume that should be mandatory reading for all police and public officials, researchers, students of crime and organizations, and concerned citizens. I can't recommend this book too highly." -James J. Fyfe, Professor of Criminal Justice,Temple University

From the cover: “In articles written especially for this book nine social scientists explore the complex social relations between prisoners, guards, administrators, teachers, tradesmen, and professional personnel in prisons. Not only are their insights use- ful in solving the unique problems of prison organization, but the articles also provide a new perspective for under- standing larger societies. One question particularly challenged the researchers: What causes a prisoner to become "hardened" or rehabilitated or to remain unaffected by his prison expe rience: They found that an inmate's be- havior is shaped not so much by his own personality traits as by his relationships with other people and with groups. In fact, many traits of the individual inmates and staff members are properties of the organization - not of the person.”

From the cover: “Behavior modification is one of the newest approaches to correctional rehabilitation and management, challenging traditional thinking about the classification and remediation of the problems experienced by criminals, delinquents, and disturbed persons. How does behavior modification compare with established psychological methods? What principles are followed, and what techniques are used? Have favorable results been achieved by institutions adopting a behavior modification program? This major study answers all these questions and more, concluding that behavior modification has consider- able promise as an effective and ethical approach to rehabilitation and management.”

From the Introduction: “In the most simplistic terms, there are three main structuralcomponentsofthe justice system in the United States: law enforcement, courts, and corrections (both institutional and community-based). Additionally, there are other structuralelements thatcomprise the system, such as victim service agencies and a related but mainly separate juvenile justice system. Thousands of agencies at the local, county, state, and federal levels of government, as well as in the private sector, join together to form the framework of the American criminal justice system. In most respects, the numerous agencies function as a system, a unified whole. But fragmentation and conflict are also commonplace, causing some critics to hold that it is not a system at all…”

FROM THE PREFACE: “The military correctional system has had an impact upon the lives of hundreds of thousands of American men in the one hundred years of its existence. The theory, goals, and applications of this system differ from civil corrections and represent an important source of information and experience in the effort to deter and modify criminal behavior. The purpose of this collection of papers is to communicate such information and experiences.

From the Preface: This Second Edition of Guards Imprisoned updates the original study by following the careers and impressions of the officers whose experiences and insights in 1976 provided the raw material for the First Edition. Interviewing the same ofticers again after ten years provided an opportunity to assess patterns of change and stability in the attitudes and behaviors of these men. It allowed t h e m to describe what changes in their working environment they believe have had an impact on what they do and the ways they do it. It also provided an opportunity to learn how they have responded to changes in the Department of Corrections and at Auburn Correctional Facility. In the original interviews ti was apparent that the "past was better" for many officers, but one did not have any way of knowing about that past. In studying the 1986 interviews, the 1976 material in the first edition provides a clear baseline for understanding their views of their present situation and change, for now we know what the past was like.”

From Chapter 1: “Imprisonment generates some degree of pressure in each and every inmate. Prison pressures may lead inmates to choose one or more strategies of coping with their environment. The array of interactions in prison is a mixture of both pressures and reactions to pressures. In this chapter, we begin by reviewing the prisoner's pressures. The second half of the chapter will focus on alternatives to ameliorate these pressures. Later chapters will present the results from studies of particular pressures and/or coping responses within prison.”

From the Preface by Hans Toch: “The author's contribution in this work is in many ways unique, and some of the concepts under- lying this book may not be self-evident to all readers. I hope I'll be forgiven for explicatingwhat to others may seem very obvious. Corrections and penology traditionally have been the monopoly of sociologists, and sometimes of experts ni administration. Psychological or clinical concerns usually have been confined to the area of individual diagnosis--particularly to the ritualistic review of unrepresentative offenders. Though it is obvious that much sociological discussion ofprisons has taken the form of psychology in disguise, disciplinary boundaries have inhibited full development of such thinking. Prison researchers have generally not deployed clinical methodology in their inquiries. Where inmates have been interviewed, they have rarely been asked the sorts of questions that explored their feelings and perspectives in depth.
