Babson Park, Mass, June 27-This
week | ann writing on probably the
most important subject | have eve
covered in my column during its 81
years Of continuous publication.
After Il thorough statistical study of
the cost Of crime, carefully checked
with the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tiGatiOn and other government all-
thoritics, | make this statement. II
crime committed in this country
could be eliminated and government
pcacc-timc appropriations cut to
what they were ten years ago, We
could pay for our entire defense pro-
gram with no increase in taxes ana
without the issuance of any addition
al government bonds. Naturally, this
terrific annual crime expense of OVCr
$4,000, 900 900 could not be cut i'm
mcdiatcly; but enough of it could
now be eliminated to go d long way
in accomplishing the desired pur-
pose.
Billions Spent For Insurance.
Crime places a tremendous COnO-
mic burden upon every community
in which it strikes. There are both
direct and indirect losses incurred
from crime committed which must
be considered in estimating any cost
Of crime.
The most tangible cost is the pri-
Vatc losses in income due to annua!
premiums paid for insurance against
criminal acts. This would include
burglary, robbery, f~orgeries, auto
lheftS, and all other types of thief:
insurance.. There would also he
fidelity insurance which would in
cludc premiums paid on fidelity POI
licics insuring banks, commercial
firms, and private individuals against
embellishments, fOrgerieS, and other
dclalcatlons by employees. Riot in
Surancc would also come under this
heading.
In the case of losses not covered
by insurance, We must remember the
direct losses suffered by private Cit
liens FROM crimes against property
which would include arson, malicious
mischief, theft and robberies from
railroads, express, and similar COM
panieS. which carry their oWn Insult
anCC.
Loss In Human Value.
Losses due to crimes against the
person. such as hOmiCides and
wounding and Sex offenses, form ?
large item in any tabulated cost Of
crime. In homicides, there is a di-
1cct loss TO the community of the
victims services as q human asset
and to the victims family there is 4
loss of income. In WoundinG md
mayhem. there is a resultant eco
nomic loss to the victim and cost OF
disqualification, together with the los
of earning power to his family and
to the community at large.

35 Per Cent of Administration

The cost of administration of GRIM

of crime. This, of course, would in
cludc federal, state, county. and city
courts. The salaries Of officials.
guards, and other employees OF
penal institutions, plus the upkecp
OF the prisons, correctional institute

must also be taken into conSidera-
ton and this, of course, would IN

cent Of our state taxes.
Private expenditures for protoc-
ton against crime, such as most
commercial companies have found
necessary, must be considered in the
cost Of crime, This would include
their W Investigators, detectives
and guards, armOred car service for
the transportation of money and Val
uables to and from banks and COM
mercial houses, also certain auditors,
bookkeepers, and overhead.
Private citizens suffer heavy
losses as victims Of gambling or other
illegal enterprises, through the
bribery of public officials and police
officers. These crimes cause alliances
to grow up between crooked poll
tlclans and organized raCketeers and
II IS the citizen who must pay thrp-
ugh taxes for any graft pIacticed by
unethical olflceholdcrs and public

organizations.

Also in the category of indirect
losses must be considered the earn

the earning power of prisoners who
are already i~nCarccratcd in the penal
institutions. When we consider tina.
all these have, to some degree, an
