| Summary |
"The Review; Vol. 1, No. 4, April, 1911" by Various is a monthly periodical published by the National Prisoners’ Aid Association aimed at addressing issues related to crime and rehabilitation during the early 20th century. The publication focuses on various topics concerning the treatment of prisoners, progressive reforms in criminal justice, and the broader social issues contributing to crime. The content reflects contemporary discussions surrounding prison reform efforts and societal attitudes towards mental health and morality. This specific edition of The Review covers a range of topics, such as the importance of understanding mental deficiencies among delinquents and the potential role of legislative reforms in improving the prison system. Articles highlight the need for better classification of offenders based on their mental health, critique existing penal systems, and address the social evils of vagrancy, family desertion, and alcoholism. Discussions also include recommendations for the establishment of specialized institutions and ongoing education about cyclical social issues like poverty and immorality. Overall, the publication serves as a call to action for lawmakers, social workers, and the community to adopt humane and reformative strategies in dealing with crime and its root causes.
