Content Summary:

The Carnegie Corporation of New York awarded Barry, as chairman of the Department of Criminology, a grant to investigate developments in criminology and penology. In 1955 he spent five and a half months in the U.S.A. and Canada and three months in Europe.

In August he attended the First United Nations Congress on the Punishment of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders in Geneva where he was appointed a member of a drafting committee which prepared a report on juvenile delinquency, later adopted by the Congress. In London, in July he attended the Commonwealth and Empire Law Conference, and in September the Third International Congress on Criminology.

The series contains correspondence with S. Stackpole and K. Ford of the Carnegie Corporation, N. Morris, M. Perlman and N. Teeters concerning travel arrangements and itineraries. There are also Congress papers and the report Barry delivered to the University of Melbourne on his return.
