Daughter of a Unitarian minister and schoolmaster, the penal
reformer and educationist Mary Carpenter (1807 77) grew up in a
pious family with a strong sense of obligation to those who were
less fortunate. Moved by the appalling circumstances of destitute
children in Bristol, she established her first ragged school in
1846. In her bid to improve the difficult lives of juvenile
delinquents, her enlightened philosophy was one of rehabilitation
rather than retribution, emphasising the importance of giving
children a sense of self-worth. These views form the basis of this
landmark work, first published in 1851. Marshalling a range of
evidence in support of her argument, Carpenter highlights the need
for radical change in the treatment of young offenders. Her
lobbying bore fruit in England with the passage of the Youthful
Offenders Act (1854), described as 'the Magna Carta of the
neglected child'.
