Crime in Great Britain.

There are some encouraging features in the re-
port of the commissioners of prisons in England
and Wales which has just been printed in Lon.
don. The statistics and diagrams which exhibit
the fluctuations of crime during long series of
years demonstrate that their general course
and tendency for many years past has been in
the direction of diminutOn;" "that this dimi-
mutton has taken place particularly in those clas
SeS of crime which are committed by habitual
criminals, viz OffenSes against property with
violence, forgery, and OffenSeS against the cur
rency, and Offenses against property without
violence (Which comprise the great bulk of
crimes cOmmitted); also that this diminutiOn
was concurrent in point of time with the develop
ment of various measures intended to bring it
about and that it occurred in spite of the great
increase in population, which might have reason
| ably accounted for an increase of crime" 1t is
also pointed out that the number of first convic-
tons has fallen gradually from GIG in 1883 to
1880 in 1892, Which shows that the criminal
ranks are not being filled up by fresh recruits.
1t is further shown that the diminution in the
younger part of the prison population is four and
five times as great as in the older portion, which
| proves that the younger part of the community
is not supplying criminals to take the place of
the older and more incOrrigible. 1t is also de-
1nOStrdleu ClldC There Is no Sucn coincidence Oe-
tween the variations in the amount of crime and
in the amount of drunkenness as to establish
that connection between the two which some
temperance advocates too hastily assert. The
commissioners point out, however, that, while
crime has thus decreased and the criminal popu-
lation of the prisons has diminished, the debtors
have increased largely and continuously; the
number committed in 1s7S-79 was 1854, and in
1928 it had gradually risen till it reached 1OO31
i Elk.
