erty. In France, Germany and Eng
land according to various authorities
there are 40 to SO drunkards to every
100 criminals.

the minister of justice Of France
(19O7). violence is shown to be the
special characteristics of crime due
to drunkenness, such as assaults. in
flicting wounds and immoral brutality
Acts that require meditation, as
counterfeiting or abuse of confidence
are least frequent among alcoholics.

for their deeds. The majority of
scenes OF criminal violence originate
in saloon quarrels and accidental
fights after drinking.
