Devoted to current and important concerns related to improved understanding and control of crime, this volume includes essays on incapacitation research, prison labor and prison industries, the history of women's prisons (1790-1890), and sexual offenses and offenders.
Abstract
It also offers a collection of essays on the organization of criminological research in Australia, Canada, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and the Federal Republic of Germany and the major directions of the research efforts in these countries. The comparative studies reveal uncertainty about research funding and the direction criminological research should take. For individual essays, see NCJ 92447-57.
