Description
This comprehensive historical study by Routledge traces nearly a century of penal policy and practice in England and Wales, examining the trajectory of the rehabilitative ideal from 1895 through 1970. Beginning with the pivotal Gladstone Committee on Prisons in 1895, the book follows the evolution of criminal justice philosophy until the policy of treating and training criminals faced significant challenges by 1970. The author synthesises extensive primary source material including official government papers, ministerial records, magistrate documentation, public opinion surveys, prisoner memoirs, penal reform publications, prison officer accounts, Royal Commission reports, and Departmental Committee findings. This rigorous examination provides essential context for understanding how rehabilitative approaches shaped modern criminal justice systems and the factors that influenced their eventual decline.

Key Features

Covers nearly a century of penal policy from the Gladstone Committee in 1895 to 1970, providing comprehensive historical coverage of criminal justice evolution.

Draws on extensive primary sources including official papers, Royal Commission reports, and Departmental Committee documentation for authoritative analysis.

Includes prisoner memoirs and penal reform group publications that offer diverse perspectives on rehabilitative practices and their impact.

Examines the defensive position of rehabilitative policy by 1970, revealing the political and social factors behind its decline.
