Probation: A Study of Twenty-Five Probationers Who Had Received Intensive Casework Treatment by the Fordham University Student Unit, at the Brooklyn Criminal Court, Office of Probation, 1963-1965
Abstract
Background and Timeliness of the Study. The crime rate is steadily increasing and the current modes of punishment are being questioned not only by professionals in the field of criminology and sociology but also by the general public at large. Prisons and detention facilities are, figuratively speaking, "bursting at the seams," and this plus other factors has renewed and increased attention being given to the institutions of parole and probation. What are the values of these programs and how can they be exploited to their full potential? These questions have stimulated the writer, who is currently involved in offering casework services within a Probation setting, to select the topic of this dissertation.
