young persons who for one reason or
discipline; and persons who commit crimes under the sway
' of passion, are not likely to deliberate upon the chances of
Choir being caught and make their decision accordingly.
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'

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. Eventually an enlightened
