FROM THE FOREWORD BY JUDGE JONAH GOLDSTEIN: In Conscience of the Court, Edward S. Porter has written a stimulating, thought-provoking volume that provides basic answers to the many problems which criminality poses for our community. Pretice-Hall has rendered a distance public service in publishing this book. As a Deputy Chief Probation Officer attached to one of the most socially minded courts in the country, Mr. Porter is uniquely equipped to discuss and clarify probation not only as a tool for rehabilitation but also as a must for intelligent sentencing. The system of probation has been aptly called the longest forward stride that has occurred in one hundred years in the field of human adjustment, planned and executed under court supervision. However, as the author brings into sharp focus, it is not a magic formula, but a sensitive blending of spiritual, human and scientific approaches to the problem of deviant behavior which has exploded into anti-social conduct.

Hardcover / Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First edition. Hardback. Intro' by Judge Jonah J. Goldstein. Dramatic true-life criminal cases from the files of New York City's Probation Department brought vividly to life by a dedicated pioneer officer - "the conscience of the court." The author was a member of New York's first Probation Department and recalls the events that led to the founding of the department. The cases are retold in dramatic and suspenseful realism. Offenders range from hardened criminals to petty racketeers - people caught in the web of circumstance, others guilty of deliberate, premeditated crime. What motivates the offender to strike out against society? What lies beyond the arrest and conviction of the offender? The answers are here in this book - a vivid record of one of the most dedicated probation officers in the history of criminal rehabilitation. 203pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. V. lightly browned edges, o/w Vg+ in sl. sunned Vg. dw.
