How Criminality
May Be Lessened
fiy CESARE LOMBROSO. Criminologist
f Ill
T h most difficult to prophesy of tlio future, particularly ou u
mr.tter which is near to one, for the prophet is not known in
his own country. I certainly never would have assumed the
responsibility of delineating the outlines of the FUTUKh
CTJMIXAL WORLD even in the broadest lines had not
the ideas of my school been accepted in various parts of the civilized
world, such as Australiu and England, where a number of my sugges
tions have inaugurated striking reforms. The indications from these
are clear and strong.
From thfj matcrial submitted to
. . r . ... , , .
lit ilUSLIUUU WIG Uilll.llliCliiII U"lll " IllUll'f-i
I How can this marked decrease of crime be explained, with all the sta
I tistics elsewhere being in contradiction ? For even in Germany, one of
I the most advanced of European nations, one sees crime and dereliction
I steadily increasing, sees the number of renegade criminals NEARLY
I DOUBLED.
The signal diminution in Australia may be explained on the ground
of its social reforms, for even the
nomically t'.ian an official in Europe. Another reason lies in the scat-
tering of the people in isolated outlying farms and THE RULE OF
PASTORAL LIFE, which is little predisposed to crime, and, finally,
in the continual, uninterrupted warfare that is waged against the cor
ruption of the young.
I believe now that, without self exaltation, I may venture to state
that if the ideas of my school were adopted and the social and econom
ical reforms SIMULTANEOUSLY ACCEPTED which modern
societies can no longer repudiate the numerous criminal classes, espe
cially the opportunistic criminal typos, which are created out of condi
tions, would speedily diminish in numbers. Also the congenital crimi
nals, whoso nature impels them to transgressionSj would be reduced.
All cannot bo done in a day. A series of reforms is needed, and the
penal system nnd the administration of justice must have a fresh coin
ago. Homes for destitute and orphaned children, which are now the
exception, must be mado the rtilc. Reform Jiouscs must be installed,
and sido by side with these wilt come a diminution in prisons proper.
Thero must bo sweeping reforms' in tho jury systems, so that there will
be at least a partially TECHNICAL JURY. For a long tinw the
punishment and trial of criminals were a species ff entertainment to
which the people were bidden. These customs hr.Tv been much mdi
fied today, but certain sensational suits still rcmnur. for us a sort of
show -which interests the people without awakening in general the
slightest feeling OF PITY. This in its essence is not much different
from the attitude of the middle ages, and the danger remains that this
sensationalism may spur on the degenerate to win notoriety through
crime. When all opportunity for satisfying lust for sensation shall
have- been abolished much will have been gained for Encianily and
good.
FURTHER THAN THIS, MANY JUDGES AND ATTORNEYS, WHO
NOW FEEL THEM3ELVES FLEDGED TO INFLICT GOME PUNISH
MENT FOR THE CaiME, WILL FIND ANOTHER WAY AND TRANS
FORM THE SOCIAL REVENGE INTO A HEALING PROCESS WHICH
WILL BE FAR MORE EFFICACIOUS THAN PUNISHMENT.
