Crime and Punishment in New Hampshire, 1812-1914


Book Description

Changing definitions of crime accompanied the economic transformation of seacoast New Hampshire from a predominantly agricultural, rural society in 1812 to one that was mainly industrial, commercial, and urban by 1914. This work analyzes a sample of 820 felony incarcerations recorded at the New Hampshire State Prison for that period. Prison records are used to analyze the role of the state prison. This study finds that the original rehabilitative mission of the prison was subordinated to the exploitation of prison inmates through the implementation of the contract labor system.

Reawakening the Public Research University


Book Description

A core institution in the human endeavor—the public research university—is in transition. As U.S. public universities adapt to a multi-decadal decline in public funding, they risk losing their essential character as a generator, evaluator, and archivist of ideas and as a wellspring of tomorrow’s intellectual, economic, and political leaders. This book explores the core interdependent and coevolving structures of the research university: its physical domain (buildings, libraries, classrooms), administration (governance and funding), and intellectual structures (curricula and degree programs). It searches the U.S. history of the public research university to identify its essential qualities, and generates recommendations that identify the crucial roles of university administration, state government and federal government.
