A propos de ce titre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The expenditures in connection with police, courts, and prisons exceed in amount the outlay for the con servation and improvement of health, the necessities and conveniences of travel and intercourse, high ways, parks, and playgrounds, and about equal the costs of education.1 When any one begins to philosophize about the raison detre of this enormously expensive arrange ment for dealing with crime and criminals, he natu rally asks first for its purpose What is the object of it all? What kind of return does this investment bring in? Society has schools for the ignorant. It has accident stations, ambulance corps, dispen saries, and hospitals for the injured and diseased. It has special educational institutions for the feeble minded, the blind, the deaf, and the dumb. It has homes for the aged, the infirm, and the incapacitated. 1C f.
