A common answer is that lipid in Frisco we must instil fear of punishment m the mind of the poten-1 ,. tial criminal. It is impossible to know just how effective s.x i-kani'ikco.

In the case of professional criminals, the certainty of being ; pprchended would act more powerfully as a deterrent than the severity of the nunishmcnt. This class of criminals me emboldened by the knowledge that they may easily avoid' :..i i a .....ii 1 j i...l I'liiiiiMiiiivui.. t w-ii iMitmu juiij;i; lutunuy usiiiuuiuu Liiat. the criminal has forty chances to one of escaping any penalty, duo to technicalities, delays, court congestion and the ac tivities of shyster lawyers." There may be much truth in this effect of beimr caueht and punished on professional criminals but a very small pro-' portion of our crimes are committed by that class. As is' further nointed out. in ouotinir a reitnin inrlo-n ninrdv nor! cent of the major felonies burglary, robbery, assaults on women, murder are committed by men whom society should not allow at large. The strangler who is being hunted fever ishly by the police of the entire Pacific Coast is obviously a demented individual whose crimes have been committed with out capacity for considering the result of being caught and punished. Society has committed a crime in allowing such a persnn freedom. Whenever such freedom is denied and propagation of defective and potentially dangerous children is made impossible we will be somewhat nearer crime vention. There are numerous sure ways to discover and thereby make possible the detention of potential criminals, dire ful and expert examination of school children can show the defectives in this resect, and incurable cases can be segre gated. Prisons and refoi matories present opportunities for similar examinations so that society can be permanently protected against demented criminals mid against pixipaga luiii of their type. This will not solve the problem of the criminals resulting from poverty, breakdown of the home, lack of ethical ideals and religious experience, but it is one step in crime prevention. It means that we must have broad M'sioned legislator who ale willing to seek the cause and lay a belter foundation for society's futu'-v generations by enacting these new regulations.
