Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compendium of the proceedings of the 14th National Conference of Charities and Correction. The author discusses the underlying social, political, and cultural dilemmas that gave rise to the problems of crime, poverty, and mental illness, which the conference was convened to consider. The author argues that these issues are not simply the burdens of the individual but rather stem from systemic problems. They advocate for humane treatment of prisoners, fair labor practices that provide a living wage, and accessible mental health resources, as well as for systemic changes such as universal education and job training to help people overcome the circumstances that lead to criminal behavior and poverty. This book provides a nuanced and compassionate perspective on the social problems of the time, which remain relevant to discussions of criminal justice reform and social welfare programs today.
