• W242640921 abstract "LADIES OF LOST CAUSES: REHABILITATION, WOMEN OFFENDERS, AND THE VOLUNTARY SECTOR Rumgay, J. (2007) Cullompton, Willan. 264 pp. ISBN 978-1-64392-298-8 (pbk) In some ways this book is unique. It concentrates on the development and results of one organisation, without giving more than broad brushstrokes of any wider picture. To use a narrow lens and to develop a compelling and interesting 'read' shows the great strengths of this book and this writer. There is a compassionate approach to the subject drawing the reader in, and attention to detail that provides a satisfying experience. Judith Rumgay is presenting an in depth account of the Griffins Society. She draws on archive material, interviews with members of the Griffins council, staff, residents, and professionals from other organisations to present the development of the organisation. The Society ran for three decades providing imaginative and innovative support for women in the criminal justice system. The story is presented in discrete segments, designed to illustrate wider arguments. The book charts not only the provision, but also how Griffin Society care changed the lives of all those concerned with it. So, chapter three rollicks through descriptions of the 'ladies who lunch?' that made the original concept of provision work, and the impact those ladies had on those around them. Chapter 6 is a sensitive account of the work and thought that creates change in damaged clients, taking account the specificity and small markers of change and the human cost. (This chapter may be particularly useful to people in caring professions and their allies). Chapter 5 takes a similar path when looking at ways in which women offenders are 'dangerous women or women in danger' There may not be news for practioners here, but the chapter does give a comprehensive and useful account of those ways of seeing clients and changing those views. I particularly enjoyed it, not because the material is new or groundbreaking but because Rumgay writes clearly and compassionately about an issue that is often difficult to present. It is a chapter that sheds light on some misunderstandings between conceptual frameworks and practice responses. The overall effect of these detailed and different chapters is to interrogate one form of philanthropy. That the writing seems to me to take a humorously tolerant view of the Griffin Society Ladies adds to the pleasure of the read. The book does not intend to stop at the borders of the Griffins society. Rumgay herself asks Can the example of the Griffins Society provide an answer to the challenges to contemporary philanthropic volunteering in offender rehabilitation: that it is inadequate in its response to modern-day risks; that its motivation is suspect and inappropriately driven by self- seeking and sentimentalism; that it has a limited, bureaucratically constrained role in today's corporate structures for the delivery of human services? …" @default.
