A Descriptive Case Study of Twenty-Six Parole Violators Who Were Returned to New York State Vocational Institution During 1948

William Thomas Donovan, Fordham University

Abstract

History has from it’s very beginning recorded the various rules of conduct and almost as a sequence we read of man’s breaking these rules and being punished, The cycle of laws, crimes and punishment has until the late nineteenth and early twentieth century focused attention on punishment in proportion to the seriousness of the offending act. In the United States a change of attitude which shifts the foci from punishment to rehabilitation is beginning to make itself felt in the field of penology. This change of emphasis is particularly true concerning Juvenile Delinquency.
