Expert Tells Value of Correctional Work
(Editor's Notf: Marcel Frym. J.D.. professor in the SC Schonl of Law and director of criminological research for the Hacker Foundation, recently addressed a New York meeting during a seminar on “Science vs. Crime." The following is a non-tec hnical summary of Professor Frym's criminology paper.)
After a lifetime of criminological and especially correctional work, Professor Frym has concluded that any deprivation of freedom—i.e.. any kind of institutionalization. even in the best type of detention facility—is harmful and actually operates against rehabilitation.

^hmen
This kind of procedure, which compels him to face his hidden, repressed fears and to look at his misdeeds self-critically, is a shocking experience and makes it impossible for him to blame society or others for his antisocial activities.
Our present system of criminal law enforcement fails to protect society from crime because: (1) Our methods of arrest and subsequent interrogation are aggressive far beyond their real needs and promote the offender's antagonism to law and authority; it is not true that efficient law enforcement requires the use of force, intimidation and humiliation, which are sad signs of inhumanity and usually indicative of poor and unscientific police work. (2) The fixing of sentence is, with very few exceptions, done in an “assembly-line" fashion, either by overburdened judges or. in jurisdictions which apply indeterminate sentences, by boards which are equally overburdened and are therefore unable to properly evaluate the individual offender.
Professor Frym feels that human beings who have
endangered the community by anti-social acts of some seriousness require complete management.
This means that necessary adjustment of the home and family situation, proper employment and psychotherapy are required if we want to do more than give lip service to the principle of rehabilitation of offenders.
Although Professor Frym, who himself is engaged in psychotherapeutic work, stresses the great importance of psychiatric help to the offender, he feels that proper employment—which means an adequate type of work holding some promise for the future—is most important.
He came to realize that there is no substitute for the reassuring effect of success and recognition through purposive efforts, which alone can reduce the basic fears which actually lie at the bottom of every type of delinquency.
He believes in separating correctional work as much as possible from governmental agencies; organized private agencies, dedicated to and equipped for the rehabilitation
of offenders, should preferably carry on correctional work, under the close and friendly supervision of probation and parole agencies.
The social integration of an endangered and therefore dangerous human being should be carried out by the community, which, in so doing, implicity proves its willingness to retain the offender as a member and to assist him in becoming a useful part of society.
The psychological implications of such an understanding and accepting attitude cannot be over-rated.
Professor Frym was appointed chairman of a specia. committee to study the daily-growing problem of employment and bonding of people with criminal records.
In accordance with reliable statistical figures, more than 10 million people here in the United States have serious ..criminal records which interfere with their employment and with bonding There is a growing trend in
