Rehabilitation and Deviance (Routledge Revivals) - Bean, Philip (University of Loughborough, UK)

First published in 1976, this book examines rehabilitation within the penal system in Britain in the 1970s. It argues that the 'rehabilitative ideal' is not the only possible alternative to a penal policy as it has become institutionalized, alien to traditional concepts of justice and incompatible with penal aims.
