First published in 1998. One of the most characteristic patterns of
recent English penal policy is the rapid spread of detention
centres. Any new development of this kind makes it necessary to
examine the possible effects of the new measures and to test by
reliable methods of criminological research whether the new forms
of treatment have led to the desired results. This is particularly
so with methods of treatment for which there is no previous
parallel. It was from such a proposition that the present study of
senior detention centres was undertaken. This study of a senior
centre was based entirely on records available at the centre and on
evidence of reconvictions obtained from the police and the military
authorities. The two centres chosen for the experiment were
Werrington House, near Stoke-on-Trent, and Aylesbury Centre, which
was adapted for use as a detention centre after the girl's borstal
and women's prison had been removed elsewhere.
