A History of English Prison Administration
This title, first published in 1981, draws from an extensive range of national and local material, and examines how innovations in policy and administration, while solving problems or setting new objectives, frequently created or disclosed fresh difficulties, and brought different types of people into the administration and management of prisons, whose interests, values and expectations in turn often had significant effects upon penal ideas and their practical applications. Special attention has been paid to the study of recruitment, the work and influence of gaolers, keepers, governors, and highly administrative officials. This comprehensive book will be of interest to students of criminology and history.
Welsh Ballads of the French Revolution
Welsh Ballads of the French Revolution provides for the first time an edition, with parallel English translations, of Welsh-language ballads composed in reaction to the momentous events of the Revolution in France and the two decades of war which followed. Ballad writers were first spurred to respond in 1793, when the French monarchs were executed, France declared war upon Britain, and paranoia regarding the possible threat of internal revolt in Britain reached a crisis point.

Youth and Justice in Western States, 1815-1950
This book explores the treatment of junevile offenders in modern Western history. The last few decades have witnessed major debates over youth justice policies. Juvenile and youth justice legislation has been reviewed in a number of countries. Despite the fact that new perspectives, such as restorative justice, have emerged, the debates have largely focused on issues that bring us back to the inception of juvenile justice: namely whether youth justice ought to be more akin to punitive adult criminal justice, or more sensitive to the welfare of youths. This issue has been at the core of policy choices that have given juvenile justice its orientations since the beginning of the twentieth centu...
Y Chwyldro Ffrengig a'r Anterliwt
Dyma olygiad o anterliwt gan Huw Jones, Glanconwy, o gyfnod cythryblus y Chwyldro Ffrengig. Cyhoeddwyd y testun ym 1798, ond ni chafodd unrhyw sylw gan ysgolheigion yr anterliwt yn ystod yr ugeinfed ganrif, ac mae’r golygiad hwn yn dwyn drama newydd sbon i’r amlwg mewn anterliwt sy’n adrodd hanes cwymp brenin a brenhines Pabyddol ac unbeniaethol Ffrainc. Ynghyd â’r golygiad o’r anterliwt, cyflwynir yn y gyfrol destun rhai o faledi a cherddi Huw Jones, i ddwyn bardd na chafodd fawr sylw hyd yma i olwg y cyhoedd unwaith eto.
