Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Laws and Our Poor: The Influence of the Law, the Orphan's Wrong, and Just Principles of Punishment
The publication of these essays has been unavoidably delayed, and some of the statistics given are not the very latest, but this does not at all effect the arguments in them. Since they went to press the Government has made an effort to deal with two of the evils of which they treat, viz., in The Artizans' Dwellings Bill, and the Bill to improve the law as regards offences against the person. The writer welcomes these as steps in the right direction, though he believes much stronger measures will be necessary before the evils are corrected.
To the memory of the philanthropists who have gone before; who, like Howard.

Our Laws and Our Poor: The Influence of the Law, the Orphanâs Wrong
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the devastating impact of the law, orphan mistreatment, and the inadequacy of the justice system in 19th century England. The author argues that unjust and inadequate laws, rather than making people virtuous, exert a powerful influence for evil. Through thought-provoking examples, the author demonstrates how laws can create recklessness, improvidence, degradation, and suffering among the poor, particularly orphaned children. The book also examines the devastating consequences of overcrowding, lack of proper housing, drunkenness, and the state's failure to enforce the duties of men to their families. Filled with compelling evidence, this book is a powerful indictment of the social and legal failures of its time, highlighting the urgent need for reform to protect the vulnerable and ensure justice for all. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780243087037_0
