Ladies of Lost Causes

"In this study Judith Rumgay unearths a treasure trove of archive material on a remarkable project, the Griffins Society. She documents the radical contribution of women philanthropists and practitioners to offender rehabilitation. Drawing on archival, interview, and observational sources, the author describes, analyses, and evaluates a distinctive model of care provision by volunteer, upper middle-class women that has since been overtaken by the professionalization of the voluntary sector."--Jacket.
