Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Her Boys' offers a profound account and interpretation of the transformative educational work led by Florence E. Scully at the Cook County Jail School in Chicago. This historical study by Edward Van Harlingen examines the intersection of pedagogy and criminal justice, detailing the unique environment of a jail school and the specialized curriculum designed for incarcerated young men during the early 20th century. Through a lens of social reform, the work provides critical insight into the challenges and successes of early correctional education within an urban setting.
