This book is a comprehensive inquiry into the rehabilitation of
criminal offenders and is based on extensive cross-cultural
research on legal, ethical, philosophical, psychological, and
sociological aspects of rehabilitation. Materials from these
disciplines are integrated into a cohesive argument for a new
concept of rehabilitation. Particularly innovative is the book's
differentiation between various historical models that have been
generally confounded until now, the distinction between an
authoritarian and a liberty-centered concept of rehabilitation, the
development of the latter into the notion of rehabilitation as a
right and the definition of this right essentially as an
opportunity. Beyond its contribution to theory, the book is also
intended to shape policy and practices. After dealing with the
general issues of the history of rehabilitation, the author
chronicles the evolution of the idea from ancient China to the
present and compares the legislative impact of this evolution in
Anglo-American and civil law systems. Four historical models of
rehabilitation are defined and examined. Rotman clarifies the
controversy over rehabilitation by responding in detail to the full
range of recent criticisms of the rehabilitative idea. After
examining the complex interrelation of rehabilitation with
imprisonment, the book reviews a number of past and present forms
of rehabilitation in the community, with an eye for their potential
for future development. Particular attention is given to
rehabilitation of mentally disordered offenders, including the
special treatment of sex offenders and European social therapeutic
establishments. The book's audience will include anyone interested
in law, sociology and criminal justice.
