Maconochie's Gentlemen: The Story of Norfolk Island and the Roots of Modern Prison Reform
ISBN: 9780195169126 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1840, Alexander Maconochie, a privileged retired naval captain, became at his own request superintendent of two thousand twice-convicted prisoners on Norfolk Island, a thousand miles off the coast of Australia. In four years, Maconochie transformed what was one of the most brutal convict settlements in history into a controlled, stable, and productive environment that achieved such success that upon release his prisoners came to be called "Maconochie's Gentlemen."
Here Norval Morris, one of our most renowned criminologists, offers a highly inventive and engaging account of this early... In 1840, Alexander Maconochie, a privileged retired naval captain, became at his own request superintendent of two thousand twice-convicted prisoners ...

The Oxford History of the Prison: The Practice of Punishment in Western Society
ISBN: 9780195118148 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The word "prison" immediately evokes stark images: forbidding walls spiked with watchtowers; inmates confined to cramped cells for hours on end; the suspicious eyes of armed guards. They seem to be the inevitable and permanent marks of confinement, as though prisons were a timeless institution stretching from medieval stone dungeons to the current era of steel boxes. But centuries of development and debate lie behind the prison as we now know it--a rich history that reveals how our ideas of crime and practices of punishment have changed over time.

The Brothel Boy and Other Parables of the Law
ISBN: 9780195093865 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The mystery does not always end when the crime has been solved. Indeed, the most insolvable problems of crime and punishment are not so much who committed the crime, but how to see that justice is done. Now, in this illuminating volume, one of America's great legal thinkers, Norval Morris, addresses some of the most perplexing and controversial questions of justice in a highly singular fashion--by examining them in fictional form, in what he calls "parables of the law."
The protagonist of these stories, the figure who must see that justice is done, is Eric Blair, a name familiar to most... The mystery does not always end when the crime has been solved. Indeed, the most insolvable problems of crime and punishment are not so much who commi...

Between Prison and Probation: Intermediate Punishments in a Rational Sentencing System
ISBN: 9780195071382 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Across the country prisons are jammed to capacity and, in extreme cases, barges and mobile homes are used to stem the overflow. Probation officers in some cities have caseloads of 200 and more--hardly a manageable number of offenders to track and supervise. And with about one million people in prison and jail, and two and a half million on probation, it is clear we are experiencing a crisis in our penal system.
In Between Prison and Probation, Norval Morris and Michael Tonry, two of the nation's leading criminologists, offer an important and timely strategy for alleviating these problems....

The Honest Politician's Guide to Crime Control
ISBN: 9780226539027 / Angielski / Miękka / 1972 / 279 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Norval Morris and Gordon Hawkins's first premise is that our criminal justice system is a moral busybody, unwisely extended beyond its proper role of protecting persons and property. But they go further and systematically cover the amount, costs, causes, and victims of crime: the reduction of violence; the police; corrections; juvenile delinquency; the function of psychiatry in crime control; organized crime; and the uses of criminological research. On each topic precise recommendations are made and carefully defended.

Delinquency in a Birth Cohort
ISBN: 9780226905587 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. "Delinquency in a Birth Cohort is a turning point in criminological research in the United States," writes Norval Morris in his foreword. "What has been completely lacking until this book is an analysis of delinquency in a substantial cohort of youths, the cohort being defined other than by their contact with any part of the criminal justice system."
This study of a birth cohort was not originally meant to be etiological or predictive. Yet the data bearing on this cohort of nearly ten thousand boys born in 1945 and living in Philadelphia gave rise to a model for prediction of...
