293 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. vii (1954)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0293 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD Twenty-three years ago-in September 1931-a volume of THE ANNALS dealt with prison reform. Then, as well as now, recent riots and disturbances had re- vealed glaring defects in our prison system. Most of those defects still exist, for progress in penology moves on leaden feet, but here and there penal management and methods are being reorganized so that better advantage may be taken of our growing scientific knowledge of human behavior and our penal institutions trans- formed into positive assets in the prevention of recidivism, which is their primary task. The authors of the articles in this volume are active and prominent mem- bers of the vanguard of this movement, and I owe them all a special debt of ap- preciation for their friendly co-operation. THORSTEN SELLIN vii
