About This Item
New York:: The Viking Press,, (1968). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Very near fine in a good dustjacket with several short tears, overall edgewear, original price of $8.95 still present.. First printing. A book that should be mandatory reading for all lawmakers - arguably more significant now than when the lectures upon which this book is based were given - the Isaac Ray Award Lectures at Columbia University from 1963 to 1966. "What happens to those labeled 'criminal' is a crime in itself . . .. because it defeats its own purpose. The crime of punishment is that punishment aggravates crime." INSCRIBED by Menninger on the front free endpaper and dated in 1969. Reference notes, index. xiii, 305 pp.
