Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book highlights the establishment and progress of institutions intended for reformation, particularly the House of Reformation in Boston. In addition to providing education and moral guidance, these institutions serve a crucial purpose in alleviating the strain on local criminal justice systems. The author thoroughly examines the legal provisions that determine admission into these institutions and provides a detailed review of the educational, religious, and mechanical practices implemented within. This book goes beyond a mere account of the House of Reformationâs operations. The author considers the institution within the broader context of early 19th-century penal and educational reform movements. Furthermore, the book includes an insightful analysis of the competing ideas about the best way to rehabilitate juvenile offenders, which allows the reader to see the House of Reformation as part of a wider historical conversation about the nature of crime and punishment.
