Excerpt from Society and Prisons: Some Suggestions for a New Penology
Penology, according to the Century Dictionary's very excellent definition, is: "The study of punishment for crime, both in its deterrent and in its reformatory aspect; the study of the management of prisons."
It is my purpose in this series of lectures to give a survey, - brief, although I hope not necessarily superficial, of the relation between criminals and Society; and having in mind the recent very striking and important developments in Auburn and Sing Sing prisons, I have ventured to take as my subtitle:
Some Suggestions For A New Penology
The "Yale Lectures on the Responsibilities of Citizenship" were established by the late William Earl Dodge "for the purpose of promoting among its students and graduates, and among the educated men of the United States, an understanding of the duties of Christian citizenship and a sense of personal responsibility for the performance of those duties."
