The Crime of Punishment, originally published in 1966, addressed
the critical issue of crime in America and how we punish criminals.
Was the spread of violence in spite of our laws and courts or
because of them and us? Dr. Menninger dissected the criminal
justice system and concluded, "I suspect that all the crimes
committed by all the jailed criminals do not equal in total social
damage that of the crimes committed against them." Dr. Menninger,
the esteemed psychiatrist, former chairman of the Board of Trustees
of The Menninger Foundation in Topeka, and former senior consultant
to the Stone-Brandel Center in Chicago, gave us a thoughtful manual
40 years ago that is highly relevant and seriously applicable to
the criminal justice system today. Hopefully, by republishing this
valuable lesson book, we will apply his teachings and correct the
system of corrections. New Leaf - New Life, Inc./Citizens for
Effective Justice, which was instrumental in the republishing of
this book, is a criminal justice reformation advocacy organization
dedicated to transformational change. Visit
www.citizensforeffectivejustice.org to learn about efforts across
the country to implement Dr. Menninger's ideas for a more effective
criminal justice system. This book is being republished with the
permission of the Kansas Historical Society, curator of Dr.
Menninger's archives.
