Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a deep dive into the historical, sociological, psychological, and legal dimensions of the care and treatment of the vulnerable members of our society, from the feeble-minded to the delinquent, across more than forty states and the District of Columbia. Filled with fascinating, state-by-state accounts of each institution, the book provides a comprehensive view of these institutions within the larger social, economic, and political context of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The author offers a fresh examination of these institutions in the context of Progressive Era reforms, shining a light on their role in shaping ideas about the role of the state in social welfare. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of social welfare or the treatment of the marginalized in the United States.
