The Irish standard., 1913-01-18
DECREASE OF CRIME IN IRELAND

one of the pleasing signs for the
future of Ireland is to be found in the
yearly report of the General Prisons
Eoard, which shows that the country
is retaining the distinction. of being
one OF the most crinleless countries
I'D Europe. The latest statistics show
THAT fewer crimes We're committed in
ireland in 1911 than IN any Year since
1910 WHEN the prisons We're placed UNI
Ger the supervision of the Board.
Ihere arc only twenty three pris-
ons in Ireland today as against four
'iiEes that number four decades ago.
~ the ninety-Ave bridewells taken
over by the Prisons Board in 1878
only five remain in operation and it, is
hoped that it will be found exredicnt
to dispense with number of these
in the near future.
The decrease in the prevalence of
drunkenness is shown ~ the fact that
IL 1911 there We're only 9,25s commit
mcnts for drunkenness or disorderly
conduct while drunk, as against 1O,OSS
commitments on similar charges in
1910. During the year OILY 1877
male and 3+5 female offenders under
:. years OF age were sentenced. When
1t is taken into consideration that
ireland has a population of four and
one-quarter millions, these figures
lcok comparatively small.
The facts speak well for the conn
Try. Ihey form the NEST convincing
reputation of the old charge that the
irish are neither capable of enforcing
o: observing the law. The decrease
IN the number OF crimes in ireland is
IL logical result OF the Improvement
OF industrial conditions. The Irish are
naturally Il thrifty and ambitious
people They are willing II, work to
better their condition wherever oppor-
lunlties are open to them. All they
Seek is a fair field for the investment
OF their talents. Given that, they
Would prosper. Deprived of it, and
driven to practical slavery under
marsh laws, increased crime and de-
hatchery must be the CONSEQUENCES.
Homc Rule and the better industrial
conditions attendant on it will enable
Ireland to approach .hc ideal of MAJ
items.
