Item description from seller

Description: The publisher's blurb reads: ''Dr. Dressler's point of view emerges, supported by a wealth of case material -- first, that criminals are individuals and can be treated only as such; that probation and parole officers can most efficiently perform their work when they have been schooled in social work and have the tools of psychology, sociology, practical experience in interviewing and in evaluating personality. He has much to say about the role and capacity of probation and parole officers which will be useful to those in correctional work. Of special interest is his proposal for a prison community in which prisoners will live with their families, govern themselves largely, support themselves by productive work, and pay rent for their own homes. He believes this solution will do away with the evil effects of imprisonment, particularly the deprivation of family and community life and responsibility for making decisions.'' Originally published in 1959,this is the second printing. BINDING/CONDITION: blue cloth with black and silver on the spine; underlining found on one page, otherwise a Good book with a Good dust jacket; publisher's price on the jacket flap is intact. index. 8vo (9.25 inches tall). 252 pages.…
