""A Guide to Material on Crime and Criminal Justice"" is a monumental bibliographic survey that provides a comprehensive overview of the literature surrounding the American legal and penal systems during the early 20th century. Prepared by Augustus Frederick Kuhlman, this work serves as an essential research tool for understanding the historical development of criminology and the administration of justice in the United States.
The guide meticulously categorizes a vast array of resources, covering critical topics such as the causes of crime, judicial organization, criminal procedure, and the history of police systems. It also explores the evolution of penal institutions, probation, and parole, offering scholars a detailed map of the intellectual landscape regarding social deviance and law enforcement prior to the 1930s. By organizing thousands of entries including books, reports, and periodical articles, the volume highlights the transition toward more scientific and sociological approaches to crime prevention and rehabilitation.
