America Leads in Crime
BY Frederic J. HAskin

Washington. ID. c.. Dec. l3.--Washing
hon hae about three times Ms many homici-
dcs 40 Liverpool. In New York moro
people are murdered in n year than in
AL Of England and Wales put together
In . typical American city there are
wveral times as many burgiaries every
wear as there are in London, in pro-
portion TO population. Over 5000 auto
mobiles were stolen in New York in 1919
shlle 300 were stolen in London and 10
in Liverpool.
These are few typical samples, chosen
~ random, Of the statistics presented by
Raymond B. Fosdick in his book on
American police systems. They show that
the United States leads the world in crime,
not by a small margin, but by several
hundred per cent Ii is perhaps the most
lawless place on earth which pretends to
have civilized government.
MFR Fosdick occupies n unique place
in this country rs an expert on crime and
police work, who has studied all the prin
cipal police systems of Europe, rs well as
that OF his own country. During the war he
WAS placed in control of the Commission
on Training Camp Activities, which was
certainly one of the most creditable of
onr war time activities. His book is not
IF a popular nature, and appeals chiefly
70 students and professionals. II therefore
ssems worth while 10 give the glst OF
his remarkable facts and arguments here.
Far more interesting than proof of
Americas world leadership IN the pro-
duct,on of all kinds of crime Is his acute
snalysis of the reasons for this. His view
point here is that of cosmopolitan rather
rhsn a typical American reformer. lie

rets He does not believe that great wave
~ moral reform could sweep all this crime
away. nor that multiplication of laws
would solve the problem. On the con-
trary. he makes out strong case for tho
view tbs. what we suffer from is too many
laws. which attempt to regulate personal
-onduct instead Of TO prevent crime, laws
which arc fundamentally unenforcihle.
because they arc not sufficiently supported
hv opinion, and which have had the effect
of making sll law ridiculous and Of giving

money, or with political. pull, is seldom
convicted. This Is painfully true, and has
been pointed out before. But Mr.. Foedick =
analysis Of the national mind IL the most
original and arresting thing he has TO
offer. He shows that none but tho Ger
mans of the period before the war were
ever 30 ridden by laws designed TO make
of men n regimentcd mass, rather than a
group of free individuals.
"The Willingness with which we un-
dertake to regulate by law the personal
habits Of private citizens is n source of
perpetual astonishmcnt to Europeans"
he writes "In no country in Europe, with
the exception of Germany, is an attempt
ever made to enforce standards OF conduct
which do not meet with general public
approval, or, at the behest of what may be
a minority, TO bring particular code of
behavior within the scope of criminal
legislation. With Ills, however, every year
adds its accretion to our sumptuary laws.
IL suits the Judgment of some and the
temper of others to convert into crime
practices which they deem mischlcvous
or unethical. They resort 10 law to supply
the defioiencies of other agencies OF social
control. They attempt 10 govern by means
of law things which in their nature do not
admit of objective treatment and eXter-
nal coercion--The views of particular
