Summary "The Criminal & the Community" by James Devon is a non-fiction work written in the early 20th century. It delves into the complex relationship between crime and societal factors, exploring the causes of criminal behavior and advocating for more humane approaches to criminal treatment. Overall, the book emphasizes that the treatment of criminals is primarily a social issue rather than strictly a medical one. The opening of the volume sets the stage for an informed discussion on the need for reform in the way society addresses crime and punishment. Devon argues that the current system inadequately serves both offenders and society, as it fails to account for the unique circumstances surrounding each individual case. He highlights how societal conditions, such as poverty and lack of support, contribute significantly to criminality while asserting that a deeper understanding of social interdependence is essential for meaningful reforms. This introduction shapes a critical exploration of the themes and findings that will follow in the subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
