Prohibition Is Chief
Contributor to Huge
Cost of Crime in U.S.
Wickersham Report Estimates $34,828,550 Expended
For Dry Law Enforcement 1929-30 Over Three
Million Per Day Given As Crime Cost.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. (AP) The Wickersham commission places
the annual cost of crime In this country at beyond a thousand million
dollars. Its latest report reached no lump-sum estimate but contained
a series of staggering statistics which even In their conceded Incom
pleteness showed a tremendous toll taken yearly by criminality.
Prohibition was named by the 857
page document, made public today
after resting for at least a week on
President Hoover's bookshelf, as a
heavy contributor to this high cost.
It was estimated that 834438.550,
or two-thirds of all the government
, funds appropriated for the adminis
tration of federal criminal Justice
during the year 1929-30, were ex
pended toward prohibition enforce
