W H Pearce "Caring for offenders on parole" / D J West "Parole in England" / J Irvin Waller "Parole for the ex-prisoner: carrot, stick or illusion?" / Vincent O'Leary and Daniel Glaser "The assessment of risk in parole decision making" Historical Pivot Point: Written just a few years after the formalisation of the UK parole system via the Criminal Justice Act 1967, the book captures a period when release shifted from an unregulated executive privilege to a structured risk-assessment process.Transatlantic Comparison: The text directly compares the burgeoning British parole board framework with various state and federal systems operating in the United States.Key Themes Addressed Risk Assessment Realities: The essays critique the methods used by boards to determine whether a prisoner's potential for rehabilitation outweighs the safety risk to the public.The "Selection Effect": The book touches upon early debates regarding whether parole programs genuinely reduce reoffending (recidivism) or if boards simply get better at selecting the lowest-risk inmates for early release.Discretion vs. Consistency: It examines the tensions between giving parole boards broad discretionary powers to evaluate an individual's progress and the growing demand for standardized, predictable sentencing.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fair. 1st Edition. "The Mint : A Miscellany of Literature, Art and Criticism", as edited by Geoffrey Grigson, was published by George Routledge and Sons. It is eclectic in its choices, but that eclecticism managed to include a number of strikingly important writers and thinkers of the immediate post Second World War intellectual Scene. There is a brief blurb on the dust-jacket, from which the following is excerpted : " THE MINT is an international miscellany of humanism, aiming to collect articles, poems, stories which have more than the topicality of the day. Another of its aims is to bring together the divorced couple of our time — scholarship and original writing." CONTENTS -- * Martin Buber : The Education of Character * W. H. Auden : Four Poems * Seán O'Casey : The Raid * Graham Greene : Convoy to West Africa * Geoffrey Matthews : Five Poems * E. J. Scovill : Three Poems * Anthony West : The Precious Myth * Geoffrey Grigson : William Barnes * Rhys Davies : A Drop pf Dew * W. J. Turner : The Theme of Love * Nikolaus Pevsner : the Architecture of Mannerism (13 halftone black-and-white photographs arranged in a discrete section) * Owen Barfield : The Psalms of David * John Clare : Poems and Fragments (Not previously published) * H. W. Häusermann : W. B. Yeats's Idea of Shelley * James T. Farrell : The Language of Hollywood * Christopher Salmon : Broadcasting, Speech, and Writing TITLE : The Mint : A Miscellany of Literature, Art, and Criticism EDITOR : Geoffrey Grigson (1905 - 1985 - British poet, writer, editor, critic, exhibition curator, anthologist and naturalist) AUTHORS : W.

CONTENTS include: "A Farewell Editorial" and several travel articles from the magazine's departing founding editor John Inman, who manned the editorial helm of "The Columbian" from 1844 -1848. New editor STEPHEN M. CHESTER, a former contributor, debuts in these pages and commits to publishing fewer fashion spreads in favor of additional highbrow steel engravings and mezzotints, with representative artists here including Britain's THOMAS ALLOM, W.H. BARTLETT and BENJAMIN WEST. ***OF SPECIAL INTEREST, the poetry includes EDGAR ALLAN POE's "To ----- ----- -----," (p. 138) commonly said to refer to his super-fan, MRS. FRANCES S. OSGOOD (1811-1850) of Boston. Poe's work is under his own name here. The devoted Mrs.Osgood has at least one poetic contribution as well, with "Stanzas for Music." (p. 116). Both works appear as part of the March 1848 issue. While Mrs. Osgood's relationship with Poe has been variously described as a platonic literary fascination (and one at least initially supported by her husband,) and mainly in the form of adulating poetry, there were injudicious letters written as well, apparently. Another contributor, the poet and author Mrs. E.F. ELLET (1818-1877) instigated gossip about Osgood's letters to Poe which landed the latter in hot water with his wife, Osgood's husband and her brother. Other literary figures of the day including Boston's Margaret Fuller appealed directly to Poe to return the supposed letters. All this took place in 1845 and it is perhaps a testament to the damage done to the reputations of all those involved that this New York magazine is regurgitating the matter three years later! See Mrs. Ellets two short stories: "Marry in Your Own Sphere (p.57), "Eugene Le Mars" (p. 145), and the poem "The Prism, the Flower and the Sunbeam, (p. 152). "The Columbian Magazine" ceased publication the following year, 1849. Please also see our bound annuals for these issues of 1845, 1846 and 1847. (AMJ). Various, including T. Allom, W.H.
