Hermann Mannheim - Böcker

Originally published in 1940. This ground-breaking work formed the foundation for modern criminology becoming an academic discipline within UK sociological studies. It concerns the history of crime, its causes and treatment in England during the preceding twenty-five years or so. Mannheim, through this and later studies, went on to found the criminology department at LSE.The book offers an evaluation of the criminological implications of the War and early post-War period as well as an examination of the practical working of the new penal machinery built up by the Reform Acts passed just prior to the War. The author produced a scientific account of the post-War state of crime, beginning with a critical examination of the structure and interpretation of English Criminal Statistics followed by a survey of the principal criminological features of the period between the two Wars. Significant aspects are dealt with in a separate chapters - four devoted to problems of work and leisure (Unemployment and Strikes, Business Administration, Alcoholism, and Gambling), four others to those of certain specific sections of the population (Juvenile Delinquency, Female Delinquency and Prostitution, Recidivism).This is a fascinating read for both the historian and the criminologist.

This is Volume V of fifteen in the Sociology of Law and Criminology series. Originally published in 1946, readers of the present volume will be aware of the links existing, for instance, between certain chapters of the author’s previous work ‘Social Aspects’, especially those on Business Administration and similar subjects, and the economic sections of the present book; or between the concluding Parts of the latter and of ‘The Dilemma’. A few lectures of a programmatic character delivered at a Summer School of the Fabian Society and at the South Place Ethical Society also feature in this book. It is one of the most important functions of Criminal Justice to play some part in the great task of Education for Citizenship.

This is Volume XI of fifteen in a series on the Sociology of Law and Criminology. First published in 1948, the local enquiry which forms the backbone of the present book may be regarded as a sequel to two other investigations: to the Home Office Enquiry into Juvenile Delinquency, undertaken at the London School of Economics, the results of which were published in 1942 under the title Young Offenders, by A. M. Carr-Saunders, H. Mannheim, and E. C. Rhodes, on the one hand, and to the Cambridge Evacuation Survey, published in 1941 under the editorship of Susan Isaacs with the co-operation of Sibyl Clement Brown and Robert H.

First Published in 1939, The Dilemma of Penal Reform presents Hermann Mannheim’s discussion on the impact of economic, social, and legal factors on methods of punishment. Set against the background of author’s wide knowledge in German, French, American and Soviet penal methods, the volume brings comparative analysis to address the question, whether it is possible to combine the old practice of making life inside prison less attractive than outside with the outlook aiming at the regeneration of prisoners, and to reconcile the stigma connected with a fair chance of rehabilitation. It also examines the conflict between the requirement of modern penology and some traditional principles of criminal procedure specially for the juvenile courts. One of the pioneering works in the history of Penal Reform, this book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of legal history, law, sociology, and social work.

Lawless Youth (1947) is a book prepared under the auspices of the International Committee of the Howard League for Penal Reform during the Second World War, aiming for the day when peace could offer the opportunity for advance on the lines of justice and humanity. The authors visualised the grim reality of winning back for society the children and young men and women whom war had made rebels and outlaws, inured to violence. The chapters published here are the results of great thought, and offer the ideal for dealing with the youth of the day.
