In this program, criminologist Joseph D. Lohman explains that a major portion of the crime problem is a result of what society does about initial and relatively less serious crime. An interviewed inmate tells that he was less damaged by his prior criminal experience than by his prison experiences. Public sentiment has not kept pace with the progress of penological attitudes, say Lohman and Bates. This is a cause of prison experiences making an inmate more dangerous to the public. They emphasize that a prison must make offenders self-reliant, rather than dependent, and indicate methods by which this can be accomplished.

The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate a new approach to group therapy with senile, psychotic patients. This objective is achieved with the aid of elderly male and female patients, a group therapist and several ancillary personnel. In this presentation a group of patients is shown initially in an institutional setting at their weekly group session. As the therapist strives to bring order into a noisy chaotic session, she uses members of the group to limit each other, and motivate behavioral changes. She suggests that they assist in solving another patient's problem, and calls on one after another for their suggestions. The leader of the group is hostile, but the therapist encourages her to assume a leadership role, express her feelings, and try to cope with the behavior which bothers her. The therapist uses a gesture which physically touches the patient to reassure her. The patients are all encouraged to join the therapist in singing the group's "song". During the course of the session the patients are encouraged to interact with each other and diminish their isolation and fantasizing. The program stresses that all levels of the staff must be trained to understand the goals of the group, and the importance of the therapist in developing a meaningful relationship with the patients. As the program closes, the session ends, and some patients are seen to assist each other, and some slight changes in behavior are noted.

In this program, criminologist Joseph D. Lohman outlines probation as a special alternative to the criminal-making influences of the prison system, stating that probation can effectively replace detention; although it is considered in the public mind as a form of leniency and improperly administered it becomes “beating the rap.” Two men with criminal experience are interviewed to illustrate this alternative. Meeker and Lohman delve into the necessary requirements to make probation an instrument for controlling criminal behavior and if its potentialities for reclaiming those who have strayed outside the social role are to be used to the fullest extent.

This item is a set of examples from the collection [United States, North and South Carolina, Georgia, African Americans, 1920s-1930s] collected by Lawrence Gellert. Some content and language may be offensive. The examples have been selected to accompany the monograph, A Sound History: Lawrence Gellert, Black Musical Protest, and White Denial, by Steven Garabedian, published by the University of Massachusetts Press in 2020. The larger collection of Lawrence Gellert recordings are described in the IUCAT record (https://iucat.iu.edu/catalog/2231335 ). Some of these recordings were made using a primitive recording device and the audio quality is very poor. Titles are taken from those provided in Gellert's notes or have been created based on the song content. Gellert did not document the names of performers for their safety, and that is why the performers for most of these recordings are unknown.
