Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book documents the proceedings of the 12th Canadian Conference of Charities and Correction held in 1911. It's a fascinating glimpse into the social reforms and progressive ideas of a century ago. The author presents a panorama of concerns, from childcare, immigration, and law enforcement through to healthcare, penology and urban planning as well as more philosophical considerations of charity and social responsibility. Reform is a prevalent theme throughout. These are issues that remain at the heart of modern society: human rights, the treatment of the mentally ill, and the battle against poverty. The author presents diverse viewpoints from delegates such as police chiefs, doctors, and social workers, as well as politicians and judges. The collection is a testament to the deep-seated drive for societal improvement in the early 20th century, and the insights into its main subject have lost none of their relevance to this day.
