RESPONSIBILITY FOR GRIMM
AIS

The efforts for reformation in our
penal system, as we understand
them, have no intention of denying
individual responsibility. The eff
forts would and should fail If they
sought to get away from the liabil-
ity of the individual for his or her
crime. What we must learn is that
a man is a criminal because he yield
ed to sin, and because conditions
were propitious for making of him
an erring member OF society. He is
partly responsible, but not wholly.
Nearly all of us have seen silly SEN
timental movemental movements
which would have lionized a wrong
doer, and which, in effect, would
have denied the doctrine of individ-
ual responsibility. Such movements
have died aborning, and there is
none to grieve at their demise.
1t chances, however, that the doc
trine of individual responsibility
does not contradict the doctrine of
reformatory penology, nor of cor
rective steps in the social order. To
say that every man is his own moral
boss. that he alone is responsible.
and that none other shares in his
guilt or in his honor, would be
disastrous theory, is put generally
into practice. Likewise. ii would be
disastrous to accept the other ex-
treme, and to recognize no group re-
sponsibility. We must have sym
pathetic knowledge of facts as a
whole, and with this knowledge
must find the normal
The cause, of course. must be
sought. 1t will be found to have
contributing factors in mental or
physical defects. in general environ
ment, in ignorance and in the will
of the individual. We can not by
ordinary reform. alter the motive OF
The will, for the will is free. We
can, however, eliminate the ignor-
ance, and greatly reduce the physi-
cal and mental defects, as well as
greatly improve the general environ
ment. This is the problem of pre-
vention.
The problem OF correction is more
easily handled. Here we have the
erring one in hand, and it is simply
matter of treating an individual.
rather than n question OF dealing
with complex conditions. The hui
manitarian penologist does not DENY
individual responsibility. He mere
ly asserts the doctrine that bad can
be replaced with good and that there
is such thing as group responsible
ity. which. added to the individual
responsibility. tells nearly, the whole
story.
The penal system of the past, and
even OF the present is not SO efiicl-
.ent as to merit the erection Of mon
uments in It's honor. II is not all
