Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Volume VI of fifteen in the Sociology of Law and Criminology Series. Originally published in 1957 this study looks at the educational experiences prior to, and during, Borstal training. The idea that education, or rather the lack of it, is a contributory factor in the crime of the young is far from new. Dr Stratta shows it’s not just a matter of deciding where education fits into the borstal regime, but where the educationalist himself fits into the borstal community.
