A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A lready, and for long, the treatment of them has naturally engaged the sjnnpathetic study of philanthropists, and more recently it has attracted the earnest attention of scientific inquirers. Hitherto, however, the results have been far from satisfactory; and there is ample room for further discussion, especially from the standpoint of a thoroughly practical man with large experience both of criminals and of the social conditions that breed them. Nowadajrs there is a growing sense of social interdependence ;there is a more general and a more definitely realized aim to elevate the condition of the less fortunate of our fellow-citizens; there are express efforts of scientific investigators to discover a firm basis for practical reforms ;and practical reforms are urgent. Such tendencies of thought and feeling may be expected to go far to ensure a warm welcome to this volume. Dr. Devon sbook is executed on a breadth of scale never before attempted. It has three distinct parts :T he Criminal; Common Factors in the Causation of Crime ;T heT reatment of the Criminal.
