THE CAUSE OF CRIME
Running1 down the big-time crooks and putting them be
hind the bars or under the sod is an important job, and we
seem to be doing well at it of late. An equally important
job-which, so far, we have hardly so much as thought about
is finding out how the big-time crooks get that way.
What happens, along the line between babyhood and adult
hood, to turn a man into an enenfy of society? Why does
one man grow up into a useful citizen and another into a
gangster? Is there any way in which we can develop more
of the first kind and fewer of the second? When you get
to wondering along these lines, it's often useful to have a
look at juvenile court records. These will show you some
rather surprising things.
They show, for one tiling. Hint the great cnuae of crime Is poverty.
Not the poverty timt mnki'H a man steal to get bread for. his family, but
the poverty that condemns u child to be brought up In a congested slum,
with the street for his plnygrouncl and his whole environment n subtle
but powerful force to toarli him that organized society is his enemy.
Look at theae figures from the Juvenile court of a reprtwentatlve city
such as Cleveland. There are two comparable congested areas In that city,
each Inhnblted by people of the same racial stock. In one area the people
are rulily well off: in normal times, the average family Income thorn ranges
from 1!00 ta an0u a year. In the other area the people are poor, with
average family Incomes running between 500 and H00 a year.
The more prosperous area last year had one delinquent boy to every 10
Inhabitants 20 delinquents, altogether, for the 20.000-odd people In the
area. The poorer area had one delinquent boy to every 1BI1 inhabitants
a total of 154 delinquents for tho 38.000 residents.
Furthermore, fur the city as a whole, families which receive help from
charitable agencies, or families whose Incomes are Just big enough to pro
vide the bare necessities of life, contribute more than 70 per cent of all
'the city's dc!lnruents. These figures speak for themselves.
poverty means crime. Blums moan gangslors. No attack on tile crime
problem can lead to a permanent solution, unless it Includes some program
Tor meeting the difficulty right at the source In the dreary streets where
our "underprivileged" cltbcns live. .
