CRIME INCREASES
WITH POPULATION
Chicago Criminologist SCOTS Of
Crime Waves" and Com.
mission Reports.
By the Associated Press.

oy JuS ASbOClhLeQ REeeS.
NEW ORLEANS, La, January II
Crime has been increasing In the United
States in exact ratio to the increase of
population, regardless of all talk of
crime waves" and reports of crime
commissions, August Vollmer, crininoi-
ogiSt Of the University of Chicago and
for many years chief of police of
Berkeley, Calf, told the American
Political Science Association convention
Mr.. Vollmer asserted that, according to
all available statistics, the criminal
population is proportionately the same
as 1t has been at any time in the past
SO years, and, that the proportion of
crime Is about the same.
The criminologist, discussing crime
prevalence, said that the average DO
ltceman Is not trained for his lob.
when q good man gets a chiefship
or police conlmissionership, it is purely
accidental" he affirmed "It is usually
because he happens to be not only a
good policeman, but q good politician,
and such man is not likely to hold his
Job long,"
Vollemer said that q comparison of
crime conditions in America and Europe
was not fair. because European cities
have more homogeneous population,
fewer automobiles, more nxed standards
and better defined community life.
