About this title

Synopsis

War With Crime: A Selected View of 19th‑Century Reform

Explore the ideas of a dedicated magistrate who linked crime prevention to science, reform, and humane treatment. This collection gathers papers on crime, reformatories, and related social questions, showing a clear, principled approach to reducing crime before punishment.

This edition foregrounds the beliefs of T. Barwick Llb Baker: that crime is best tackled by understanding its causes, aligning sentences with the crime and the offender’s history, and using supervision and reform to help offenders rejoin honest life. The writings advocate for youth-focused reform, careful use of reformatory schools, and criticism of harsh, degrading punishment as a route to lasting change.

How to war with crime: viewing crime as a form of disease and organizing society to combat it with science.
A push for proportional, cumulative punishment and the use of police supervision to aid rehabilitation.
The case for reformatories and careful limits on imprisoning children, with attention to outcomes and character.
Reflections on gaol labour, the spread of juvenile reform, and the practicalities of implementing these ideas in law and policy.

Ideal for readers of criminology history and social reform, this volume offers a window into enduring questions about punishment, rehabilitation, and public safety.

We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.
