On Sentencing Urqed

Establishment of behavior clinic
In the District was urged by Police
Court Judge Edward M. Curran in a
speech yesterday at the Central Bus
iness Mems Association luncheon at
the Colonial Hotel.
Judge Curran said a trained group
of psychiatrists, psychologists and
sociologists should study. each law
violator and their findings should
help determine the sentence.
The clinic should look into the
offenders environment, learn the
motivation for the crime and find
out the physical and mental make
up Of the individual, he added. The
observations of the clinic would aid
the Judge in passing sentence.
Judge Curran said he did not be-
lieve in being easy on hardened
criminals but that punishment and
treatment should fit the needs of
the offender-not the crime.
