9781330130308: The Philosophy of Ragged Schools

Synopsis

This book explores the philosophy behind Ragged Schools, a movement that began in the 1840s to educate the destitute children of the poor. The author argues that crime is a product of ignorance and poverty, and that the best way to reduce crime is to provide education and opportunity to those who are most vulnerable. The book discusses the history of Ragged Schools, their methods, and their successes, and argues that they are a vital part of any strategy to reduce crime and improve the lives of the poor. The book is well-written and engaging, and it provides a valuable contribution to the literature on crime and poverty.
