When Man Is rlost Dangerous.
Statistics Show That When ~
Years Old He Is Most Likely
to Commit Crime.

1t is singular fact, yet one SUBJ
stantiated by statistics, that most
crime is committed in New York
by men 20 years old. This is not
only true of the lesser but also OF
the greather crimes, although
man is presumed to be at that
period of his life not only in the
zenith of his physical but also in
full and complete possession of
his mental powers, with a COM
plete appreciation of right and
wrong and their respective conse-
uuences. This condition is pro-
blem which has not been solved
by the student of criminolOgy,
and one which is made the more
complex by the fact that the ages
of 81, 81 and As years nearly equal
it, with the intervening years
showing a far less percentage of
crime.
1t is indeed peculiar that the
criminal tendency should be so
strong at 80, with no such inclina-
ton, so far as criminal statistics
show, in as great a degree for the
succeeding sixteen years. and then
another outburst of the animal in
man.
This condition is found to be
true by actual figures. and as all
statistical computations at which
average conditions are sought to
be determined are arrived at by
this method, so may the student
of this subject, as we'll as the in.
? surance magnate who bases hi'
