His recommendation. for society's protection is this:

mean life segregation.
"Commitment should, bo made after examination by a
commission which would report to tho courts on just what
type each criminal is and that before the crime, segregation
would keep them from lxth crime and propagation."
There 'is nothing particularly new in that rccommenda-
j tion but there would lie something new in its acceptance and
realization. Normal, law-abiding people hold up their heads
in horror at the crimes that aro compiitted day after day
thoughout the country. But they arc slow to do anything
to take tho potential criminal out of circulation lieforc he
starts a murderous career and almost as slow and ineffec

is caught and punished, the gener;' uiblic feels that the slate
is clean, seldom realizing that mo. ' hideous crimes could 1)0
