Aggiungi al carrello78p., first edition 7.5 x 5 inch cardstock wraps with a printed sur-wrapper, a bright copy showing mildest edgewear. First mystery: why was this printed on acid-free paper when paperstocks were so very poor in UK throughout the war and long after. Second, Laski: an important man indeed to have dragooned into wording a preface. H…e was then teaching at LSE and get-attable, but still! Third, Laski's little landmines in the foreword: "Its prizes are few, its rewards relatively low, and most entrants must face the fact that large areas of its work [the civil service] are necessarily monotonous and dull. It is therefore unlikely to satisfy the eager, experimental mind.And it is important for it to be frankly stated that the Civil Service reproduces all the characteristics of British democracy outside of Whitehall; which is really to say that its claim to be a democracy does not mean, and never has meant, the career open to the talents." And of L. C. White's text he says, "Mr. White has, of course, the tact to let his pages speak for themselves. I only warn the reader that he must search those pages with care if he wants to find the nuggets of gold hidden there, always with skill, and not seldom, I suspect, with genuine pleasure at the art with which they have been concealed. But here it is the business of an amateur [Laski himself] to be silent." I will propose that keeping creative battle-hardened minds, ready and able to do some spadework, out of the garden that's very nice just the way it is, might have been seen as a plus. Look what happened in the US, where the GIs had to be placated expensively for several decades.

Dispatched ROYAL MAIL FIRST CLASS with TRACKING next working day or sooner securely boxed in cardboard. ref 82:18. The Introduction: Twice within the last quarter of a century I have seen it stated - once…by a Lord Chancellor, and on the other occasion by Sir John Anderson, when he was Under Secretary to the Home Office - that there was no danger in this country of mentally irresponsible people being hanged for the crime of murder. Prompted by memory, I thought those statements a little wide of the mark. Now, supported by the results of a search through the records of murder trials from 1919 to 1939, I assert they have no foundation in fact. This book is comparable to most murder trials in that it contains the arguments for and against my assertion; and the cases themselves represent the factual, circumstantial and inferential evidence that is given in most criminal trials. As Prosecutor, I have brought every factor to bear in my attempt to prove the need for a material change in the law, and the Defence has been given every opportunity of rebutting it. There is a development - a second book in which I intend to attack the law for its treatment of those mental and moral irresponsibles who make periodical appearances in our courts, and for whom the law has no other cure to offer than that of punishment. The reform needed in the procedure connected with trial for murder cannot be achieved without its application to the criminal code generally, and even then it will be useless without revolutionary changes in our prison system. Both reforms are long overdue, and it is time the public conscience was awakened to its own responsibility for many major errors in administering not only law but justice. if you, the jury of readers, find the law guilty, you are passing sentence on yourselves. You will sentence yourselves, and your children, to decades of reform, in which prisons and asylums will have to be rebuilt, their staffs trained in a new concept of their duties, and law and medicine will have to become partners instead of rivals. You have read the evidence, the collective speeches of Prosecution and Defence, and you have read, in the criticisms, analyses, preface and " Last word," what might be termed a composite summing-up. Ladies and gentlemen, you will - I hope - retire to consider your verdict. March 1947, E. Robinson.
