General Views Regarding the Social System of Convict Management

General Views Regarding The Social System Of Convict Management is a book written by Alexander Maconochie in 1839. The book delves into the social system of convict management and presents Maconochie's views on how to effectively manage convicts in a way that promotes rehabilitation and reduces recidivism. Maconochie proposes a system of rewards and punishments that is based on the principles of justice and humanity. He argues that convicts should be treated as human beings and that the purpose of punishment should be to reform them rather than to simply inflict pain and suffering. Maconochie also discusses the importance of education and vocational training in preparing convicts for their eventual release back into society. The book is considered a groundbreaking work in the field of penal reform and has had a significant impact on the development of modern prison systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
