Excerpt from The Need of Social Statistics as an Aid to the Courts
In order to avoid controverted matter at the start, I will draw my first illustration from a decision neither made by a court nor arousing any considerable dissatisfaction, that rendered by the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission of 1902-03.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the often-overlooked role of social statistics in aiding courts to make informed decisions on issues concerning social welfare. The author argues that many court decisions turn on questions of social fact, such as the healthfulness of an occupation or the effect of a given law on social behavior. However, the courts often lack the necessary data to make sound judgments on these matters. The book provides several examples of cases where a lack of social statistics led to controversial or flawed decisions. The author concludes by emphasizing the need for developing a comprehensive system of social statistics to provide courts with the information they need to make fair and just rulings.
