This
symposium
is
not
bedtime
reading.
It
is
meant
to
make
you
think
and
if
you
have
any
occasion
to
think
about
crime
and
its
treatment,
past
present
or
future,
you
will
find
this
stimulating.

This
invaluable
reference
book
has
been
hrought
up
to
date
(so
far
as
that
is
ever
possible)
and
all
existing
supplements
have
been
incorporated
in
this
new
seventh
edition.
It
inclucles
full
references
to
the
Children
and
Young
Persons
Act
of
1963
and
brings
in
the
revised
Proba-
tion
Rules
up
to
1965.
The
sections
on
recent
legislation
formerly
dealt
with
in
supplements
have
been
incorporated
in
the
appropriate
chapters.
The
work
is
almost
indispensible
to
probation
officers
and
magistrates.
Needless
to
say
the
production
is
impeccable
and
the
new
edition
has
been
thumb-indexed
for
easier
reference.
Once
again
Butterworths

officers
at
the
reduced

of
£4

There
are
no
words
available
which
have
not
already
been
heavily
overworked
in
praise
of
this
book ;
suffice
it
to
say
there-
fore
that
the
standard
has
been
main-
tained.

Deviance
and
Control
is
a
concise
and
economically
written
introduction
to
the
sociology
and
psychology
of
deviance.
Making
few
demands
on
the
reader’s
pre-
vious
knowledge,
but
requiring
sustained
attention
at
times,
it
describes
briefly
the
scope
of
the
field
and
the
most
important
theories
which
help
to
explain
deviant
behaviour
of
all
kinds,
including
crimi-
nality.
It
has
much
less
to
say
ahout
its
control.
Deviance
occurs
wherever
there
are
rules
to
be
broken,
and
the
author
analyses
both
its
positive
and
negative
functions.
The
importance
of
roles
in
imposing
normative
rules,
and
the
institu-
tionalisation
of
these
norms
is
discussed,
together
with
the
contrast
between
deviant
acts,
whose
consequences
may
often
be
lived
down,
and
the
deviant
character
who
acquires
all
the
notional
attributes
of
a
delinquent.
After
a
description
of
the
possible
types
of
theory
in
this
field,
we
are
introduced
to
theories
which
explain
deviance
at
a
psychological
level.
