The Future of Crime
By Archibald Henderson

Is not some association or con-
nection between certain physi-
cal attributes and certain
types Of crime.
Lombroso and his followers,
in an exact sense, were taking
a superficial view. They were
regarding externalS, the ap-
parent, physical stigmata. The
cause, Of course, lies deeper
than thiS-1lamely, in the men
tai. Quirk. the moral twist, the
abnormal functioning, under
high stress Of passion or temp
tation. Of the ordinarily normal
intelligence.
Legal punishment must, It is
argued by many humanitarians,
eliminate from its own nature
the faint Of retribution. Plato
says that the criminal must
be adequately punished for the
sake of deterring others from
doing wrong; but in this state
ment Plato overlooks the indi.
vidual criminal himself, upon
whom the modern criminologiSt
concentrates. The criminal
must be punished, In order to
deter him from repeating his
crime or committing other
crimes. Punishment, according
to Barnes, can be justified if it
brings about moral reforHna-
tion. and in future he predicts
it win be used only in those
cases where 1t will be likely to
have that effect.
II degeneracy is the disease
Of the race, says Goodwin, crime
is the disease Of the social
body. He. predicts that, in the
future. al Idea. Of punishment
will be abandoned. The prison
will be only q house Of deten-
ton. q place where each in
mate will be studied with the
sole view of possible mental
and physical regeneration and
moral betterment.
The leader in the future treat
ment of crime will not be the
jailer, the turnkey, the warden,
the hangman. He will be the
physician, the alienist, the psy-
chiatrist, the psychopat hologist.
the purpose of detention viii be
to diagnose and treat the ills to
which the criminal Ii subject.
Some will be treated and bene-
fitted; some viii be cured and

No one who gives prolonged
reflection to the problem of
crime and legal treatment
thereof can fail to be aware
that our present codes are
tainted with the spirit Of re-
Vepge.
Organized society sets up a
system Of morals, a code Of
conduct, for the guidance Of
the individuals constituting
that society. The law makes
hard the way Of the trans
gressor. He must conform to
the system, obey the code, or
take the Consequences. And
the consequences may be as
serious as the crime itself;
murder will be visited by execu-
Zion. illegal kidnapping by legal
kidnaping, theft of goods by
legal theft Of the person Of
the thief.
1t Is, shocking in the highest
degree to realize how lament
ably slow reforms in criminal
codes and procedure have been.
Less. than a century and q
hall. ago.. the death penalty
was visited upon the luckless
criminal for such slight Of.
. fences as the theft of five
AailfngS'-worth of Shop-goods,
the robbery Of a rabbit-warren,
and the counterfeiting Of reve-
nue. perfumery stamps. These
are only q few among scores
OF other. slight offences, as
we see things today, for which
the death penalty was invoked.
u was Bacon who said that
tevenge was q sort Of wild jus
3tice. 1t is possible that So
called justice, IL administered
with ruthless hand, may appear
: to some as Q sort of leg allied
revenge. In the future, says
George Goodwin in Cain, we
may find that by making the
test Of crime its effect, not
only upon the community of
today but also upon the race,
certain things now criminal
viii cease to be SO, while others
not now crimes will become
Offences.
Not many years ago; q Ger.
tain school Of crinlinologists,
headed BY the sensational Ital-
Ian, CeSare LombroSo, advanced
the theory that there were GER
tain ullmistakable stigmata or
physical marks Of the crime
instinct. There was, it was
urged, q specific criminal type.
fortunately for human ma
tllre and the future Of the race,
this theory has now been ex-
6loded. It Is no longer seri-
clleiy entertained by Grimm
0losists generally. This does

Perhaps I've missed him, or

there appear to be only two

relegated to the william. And
the cool, casual, "Well-what.say-

Does this mean that women
are tired of the glamour of
love? That they want their
love-making either rough, raw,
and elemental, or in common
sense walking boots? Because
actors always give the public
what they WANT.
Does it mean that the modern
girl doesn't KNOW any kind Of
lovemaking between the wreSt-
ling-match variety and the pat
on-the-back, good-pal sort?
Does it mean that men have
forgotten how to make love
or that women have forgotten
how to TAKE it?
Does a woman really regard
a football clutch, q primitive
clinch, and q few savage kisses
as f'love-making"?
Have all the glory and the

 The great majority of Indian remains have already been des- troyed, partly due to blowing, road building and city develop meat.
