Abstract
When Frank Allen, in his fall quarter Sibley lecture, spoke on the topic "The Decline of the Rehabilitative Ideal in American Criminal Justice," he wasn't reporting on a trend to condemn all criminals as incorrigible. What he did address, however, is the emerging manner in which Americans view the role of penal institutions and the purpose of criminal sanctions.
A full summary of this event was published in the Advocate Magazine Volume 15, Issue 1, Spring 1979 on page 10: https://digitalcommons.law.uga.edu/advocate/vol15/iss1/1/
