With these three short sentences, Dr. 8. H. Jamieson, professor In the department of applied social science at the university, summed up his talk before the Brotherhood of the Method­ ist church at their monthly meeting Monday evening on "Good Cltlxensblp and the Criminal " It haa been frequently stated that we are either made or broken by our associates, stated the speaker, but. he also stated, there Is more truth In the statement that the actions snd deeds of the present generation will do more to make or break the coming generation than any one factor. Crim e Costs Inadequate The coat of crime In the United Htates as revealed by the Insurance company statistics Is two and one half billions of dollars each year and 760 millions of this Is used In main­ taining law and order. These figures on the cost of crime are very in­ adequate, stated the speaker, because the only crimes which we have record of are those which have been com­ mitted and the offender apprehended There Is a largt, percentage of the crimes committed In this respect de­ clared the speaker. They seldom will report a crime which Involves a woman. The scientists are coming to the opinion more and more that criminals are made and not born, he declared The question Is who or what makes the criminal? Two Factors In All Crime There Is no set formulae for the Into this declared Dr. Jamieson, they are the seen and unseen forces Cit­ ing as a concrete example the speaker told of a certain young man who had been arrested on a charge of drunk­ enness. The public sees that the person has violated a law and has disgraced himself. These are visible factors, he declared, but there are a large number of other factor« which are not so eadlly noticeable such as the expanding desires of the people, the rising living standards and the Inability of the average person to reach this standard, the conflict be­ tween the adult and the youth, the lark of understanding, family disor­ ganisation caused by many divorces as a result of which the children are frequently left to their own devices, political rotteness resulting In the would- be criminal coming to realise that there Is always a «ray to escape W.
