Originally published in 1940. This ground-breaking work formed the foundation for modern criminology becoming an academic discipline within UK sociological studies. It concerns the history of crime, its causes and treatment in England during the preceding twenty-five years or so. Mannheim, through this and later studies, went on to found the criminology department at LSE. The book offers an evaluation of the criminological implications of the War and early post-War period as well as an examination of the practical working of the new penal machinery built up by the Reform Acts passed just prior to the War. The author produced a scientific account of the post-War state of crime, beginning with a critical examination of the structure and interpretation of English Criminal Statistics followed by a survey of the principal criminological features of the period between the two Wars. Significant aspects are dealt with in a separate chapters - four devoted to problems of work and leisure (Unemployment and Strikes, Business Administration, Alcoholism, and Gambling), four others to those of certain specific sections of the population (Juvenile Delinquency, Female Delinquency and Prostitution, Recidivism). This is a fascinating read for both the historian and the criminologist.

First Published in 1939, The Dilemma of Penal Reform presents Hermann Mannheim's discussion on the impact of economic, social, and legal factors on methods of punishment. Set against the background of author's wide knowledge in German, French, American and Soviet penal methods, the volume brings comparative analysis to address the question, whether it is possible to combine the old practice of making life inside prison less attractive than outside with the outlook aiming at the regeneration of prisoners, and to reconcile the stigma connected with a fair chance of rehabilitation. It also examines the conflict between the requirement of modern penology and some traditional principles of criminal procedure specially for the juvenile courts. One of the pioneering works in the history of Penal Reform, this book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of legal history, law, sociology, and social work.

Die vorliegende Schrift ist bald nach Beendigung des Krieges be gonnen und erst im Fruhjahr 1923 abgeschlossen worden. Diese Ver zogerung erklart sich dadurch, dass ich infolge meiner starken dienst lichen Inanspruchnahme durch meine fruhere Tatigkeit als Verwaltungs beamter die Arbeit an diesem Buche etwa 2 Jahre lang fast vollig aus setzen musste. Zwischen Vollendung und Drucklegung schob sich alsdann die Straf prozessreform vom 4. Januar 1924, die eine Umarbeitung einzelner Teile erforderlich machte. Die aussere Geschlossenheit des Ganzen hat durch diese ungunstigen Schicksale stark gelitten. Dagegen waren die Eindrucke, die ich in der Verwaltungspraxis empfangen habe, der inneren Einheitlichkeit der Gedankenfuhrung insofern forderlich, als sie die uberzeugung von der Richtigkeit der hier vorgetragenen Grundauffassung in mir noch mehr gefestigt haben. Der Berliner Juristischen Fakultat und insbesondere dem Dekan des Jahres 1923/24, Herrn Professor Bruns, bin ich fur die Aufnahme meiner Arbeit in die von ihr herausgegebene Sammlung zu grosstem Danke verpflichtet. Meinem verehrten Lehrer, Herrn Professor Kohlrausch, danke ich herzlich fur die Forderung, die ich stets durch ihn erfahren habe.
