fornia, Holds Present Day Pro-
cedure Also Cause.

from the present day criminal pro-
cedure was held responsible for the re-
cent increase in crime by August Voll-
mer Of the department of criminology
of the University of California, who
addressed the convention of the Inter

The effects Of the war upon crime,

although criminology had made rapid
strides forward. He urged more scien-
tific methods in handling criminals,
and also In selection of law officers.
