A Stage in Jewish Intrusions into Britain. Criminology after the Second World War. What to look for!
Review by 'Rerevisionist' 21 June 2020
First published 1956, 2nd edn 1962, third edn 1965. Published by University Tutorial Press Ltd, Foxton, near Cambridge. I tracked down Howard Jones, below:–

Howard Jones, BSc (Econ), PhD, D.Litt., [1918-2007; his D Litt was in his retirement year; they may have had difficulties finding a retirement award] was Head of the Department of Social Administration at University College, Cardiff from 1969 to his retirement in 1984, and died December 31 2007, aged 89. He received a D. Litt. from the University of Wales in 1984 and became Professor Emeritus on his retirement that year.

Howard belonged to that generation of social researchers who were self-made intellectuals. He left school at 14, worked for a glass firm, local government, and estates before joining the YMCA as Deputy Warden to supervise the training of boys in farm work. In a sense, he may have been defined as a 'problem youth' himself, being a pacifist conscientious objector during WW2. In tandem with ten years in youth work, casework and residential social work, he completed a London degree as an external candidate part time, and went on to take a Diploma in Public Administration, qualify as a psychiatric social worker (training at the Tavistock, a leading edge place for psychoanalysis and group work), and do a Ph.D. under Hermann Mannheim at the LSE, all of them except the psychiatric social work part-time. This sense of commitment and of 'doing it my way' carried with him till the end of his days and it is interesting to reflect how conventional are the backgrounds of most academics (and politicians) nowadays in comparison.



Fascinating to decipher or indeed 'deconstruct' lives and influences. My copy of this book (first published 1956, when Jones was about 38) attracted my attention by several things, for example the Attenborough connection with Leicester University, and the inside jacket blurb which is clearly aimed not at prisons, but at waffle—this is the Third edition ... well established as a guide ... for workers in the correctional and social services ... for Students of Sociology ... causes and treatment of crime ... Note the publisher's name; it is a mimic of academic publishing. And Hermann Mannheim [Hermann Mannheim worked as a researcher at the London School of Economics, from 1935. Mannheim developed into an internationally leading criminologist and in 1946 he was appointed a professor] was yet another Jew at the LSE. I was surprised to read in Jones' obituary that he was a 'pacifist conscientious objector' in WW2; until of course I realised that Jews didn't fight in the Second World War—they sensibly preferred others to kill each .
      He began academic life as a lecturer in social studies and then senior lecturer in sociology at Leicester 1953-65, [the present book declares him Senior Lecture in Sociology at Leicester] before moving to a Readership at Keele 1965-69, where he ... started criminology there. Then, after study leave at Berkeley, he moved to Cardiff as Professor in 1969, to head the then Department of Social Administration and School of Social Work...
      I'm pretty sure Jones thought he was a Jew, though he may have been a 'crypto' hanger-on. His biog lists eight books, mostly by different publishers, though there were two Penguin paperbacks, Crime in a Changing Society (Penguin, 1965), Society against Crime: Penal Practice in Modern Britain (Penguin, 1981). Penguin of course was thoroughly Jew-promoting. I won't do a thorough review for this antiquity. But I will pick out details which inexperienced new-to-Jew people ought to know. These are in no particular order:  I can't face trudging through the 21 chapters of this book, but I do encourage people to read such books critically, and to learn to discern the habits of Jews. (Here's my chronology of Jews; I add material from time to time). It is similar to becoming interested in a strange monkey type, with secret communication methods and odd territories, and the ambition to take things from tribes of (mainly) Europeans of a different type. Your life may depend on understanding some of this!
