About This Book

This book, published in 1955, is a successor to Joanna C. Colcord's Your Community: Its Provision for Health, Education, Safety, and Welfare, published by the Russell Sage Foundation in 1939. It is designed as a broadly conceived working manual of community study aimed at not just social workers, like its predecessor, but a more varied group of citizens. It details procedures for conducting the survey, both in its organizational and methodological aspects.

Publication Date

About This Book

Presented at the fifty-first congress of the American Prison Association in 1921, this report details the treatment of persons awaiting court action and misdemeanant prisoners. It argues that these prisoners are the most likely to reform because they include those who are imprisoned for the first time, and it presents a particular way of treatment towards them in the prison system.
