The Journey to Prison: Who Goes and Why af Celia Lashlie
When 'The Journey to Prison' was published in 2002 it became an instant best seller. In it, Celia Lashlie analysed the forces that shape the face of crime in New Zealand, the way we punish offenders, the effectiveness of prison (for both men and women), parental responsibility, the role of drugs, where education comes in and the role of state institutions. This revised edition (2004) also contains her insights into some of the more tragic events of late 2002, and of the debate surrounding the building of yet more prisons. With her unique background Celia Lashlie is able to offer insights free from the media and political spin that frequently colour debate about crime and punishment in New Zealand. Celia Lashlie was the first woman prison officer to work in a male prison. Later she conducted seminars with prison officers, aimed at challenging macho attitudes and behaviour.

Celia has a degree in anthropology and Maori, and is the mother of two adult children.… (mere)
He'll Be OK is a fascinating insight into the world and minds of boys and men. For those parents (particularly mothers) who are wondering where their gorgeous boy disappeared to, and how best to help them navigate the bridge of adolescence, this is a valuable resource. Easy to read and often humorous, this book provides insights into just what our boys need and how best to raise them to be good men without smothering them or breaking their spirit. Definitely worth reading.
Every parent of boys should read this! A revelation in how to deal with boy's issues.
