The first group of articles on crime, criminals, and victims addresses juvenile delinquency, the implications of narcotics and firearms availability for juveniles, and the homosexual as a crime victim. Also discussed are contemporary victim compensation statutes and sex offenses. The volume's second section focuses on the administration of criminal justice, beginning with an analysis of the Warren Court which contends that it was trying to restore strict construction of defendants' rights and due process. Other papers examine the problem of entrapment, police discipline, August Vollmer's concepts of police professionalism, and social and legal policies toward sex offenders. The final group of selections on corrections and punishment initially reviews contemporary trends in corrections from the perspective of the roles of the court, the Government, and public support. The treatment philosophy espoused by Highfields, one of the most progressive facilities for delinquent and troubled youth, is described. Other papers concern the role of correctional policymakers, a prison disturbance at the Army Rehabilitation Center, probation, and prison industries. The authors also explain their opposition to capital punishment and the medical model in corrections. References accompany individual papers. An index is supplied.
