Abstract
Victor Bailey’s The Rise and Fall of the Rehabilitative Ideal, 1895–1970 takes as its focus the criminological narrative that through the twentieth century the rehabilitative ideal rose to great prominence, before crashing and burning for a period from the 1970s. Bailey takes this nugget of common sense and exposes it to scrutiny, finding that the rehabilitative ideal was not so well-entrenched or all-encompassing as many have supposed. As Zedner (2002) has cautioned, the rehabilitative ideal was only ever an ‘ideal’.
