to making the streets quietcr. will doubt
less result in a further increase In the
number OF offenders against the law.
Already every sixth man and. every
twenty-ffth woman in the German
empire has been punished for violation
OF some one Or other of the German
penal code. This is shown In an inter
esting work entitled, People Who Have
Been Punished In Germany" by DR..
Finkelnburg, superintendent of the ia
nous Moabit prison in Berlin. DR.. Fink
eluburg has published his book In con-
ncction with campaign for the revision
of the penal code. lie hopes that the
statistics Of German Criminals which
he has collected will contribute to a re-
ducton In tho great number OF punish
mcnts which hang over Germans heads
for trivial transSresson OF the law.
DR. FiDkelnburg shows that the NUM-
Der of "crIminals, IN Germany at the
present time IS 3.S6?. 600, OF whom G.0bo.-
600 arc males and 500, 00o females. Every
forty-third boy and every two hundred
and thirteenth girl aged between l. aho
Is has been punished.
