A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A mong the most expensive functions of government is that which is concerned with the detection, arrest, trial, and punishment of criminals. The expenditures in connection with police, courts, and prisons exceed in amount the outlay for the conservation and improvement of health, the necessities and conveniences of travel and intercourse, highways, parks, and playgrounds, and about equal the costs of education. When any one begins to philosophize about the raison detre of this enormously expensive arrangement for dealing with crime and criminals, he naturally asks first for its purpose What is the object of it all? What kind of retum does this investment bring in? Society has schools for the ignorant. It has accident stations, ambulance corps, dispensaries, and hospitals for the injured and diseased. It has special educational institutions for the feebleminded, the blind, the deaf, and the dumb. It has homes for the aged, the infirm, and the incapacitated. Cf. Spalding, The Money Cost of Crime, in Journal of the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology, May, 1910, pp. 86-102; andE ugene Smith, The Cost of Crime, in Proceed inga of the Annual Congrees of theN ational Prison A ssociation, 1900, pp. 308 ff.
