of the National Crime Prevention
Institute; Associate or Consulting
Editor to such publications as
Journal of Criminal Law And
Criminology, Mental Hygiene and
Federal Probation. He was Low
ell Lecturer in 1885.
DR.. Glueck is the author of
many authoritative works on juve-
nile delinquency, criminology and
criminal law. On many of these
he collaborated with his wife, DR..
Eleanor Touroff Glueck, herself an
outstanding sociologist and Grim
inologist. It is interesting to note
that in the general research on
which the Gluecks have collobar-
ated, their thoroughness was such
that DR.. Glueck's proficiency in
law and his wife's training in
social work were supplemented by
the work of a staff including
psychiatrist, a physician, psy-
chologist and several social work.
ers. Their efforts, stressing CO.
ordination of correctional and pre-
ventive methods, have always
been directed toward making the
public at large aware of its re-
sponsibilities in the fight against
crime.
In the light of these facts, DR..
Glueck's theories and proposals
for the trial and punishment of
the Axis war criminals are of ut
most interest and value in consid-
ering steps to be taken to insure
justice when the war ends. His
program includes the following
points, among others:
CD Provisions for the trial and
punishment of the Axis criminals
must be made part and parcel of
the Armistice terms as well as the
Treaty of Peace. The defeated
nations must be compelled to sur
render for trial their chief war
criminals as well as civilian VIC
lators of civilized criminal law, as
a prerequisite to any cessation of
nostilities.
(2) Indictments should be
drawn up now against the major
offenders and evidence of crimes
assembled and conserved, with de-
tailed information appended as it
is received.
90 National civilian and mill
tary courts of Nazi-occupied coun-
tries should try and punish Offend
ers for crimes committed on their
own territory. A non-military In
ternational Criminal Court should
be instituted to try and punish Of
tenders for (a) crimes committed
on Axis territory; (b) crimes COM
mitted by heads of enemy states
and military, naval and civilian
authorities; (c) offenses commit
ted against nationals of several
countries in combination, and (d)
cases which an injured nation pre-
fers not to try in it's own courts.
"a A code Of international Grim
lnal law should be provided for
the Court, defining the crimes
and limiting the punishments. A
modification of legal doctrine is
necessary in order to place prop

erIv the responsibility for crimes
on individuals as well as sovereign
states. on chiefs of state as well
as on non-military officials. Sen
tence should be individualized to
take account of the amount of dis
erection exercisable by the accused.
81 United Nations military
forces should furnish police Of
ficials for the arrest, detention
and trials of accused persons.
Extradition treaties should be re-
examined now to prevent Axis
leaders from fleeing to neutral
countries to escape punishment.
DR.. Glueck suggests that jails,
penal and correctional institutions
and Informative agencies, includ-
ing probation and parole as well
as hospitals for the criminal in
sane should be employed for the
punishment and correction of the
Axis war criminals. He believes
that now is the time to work out
complete plans for "a fully imple-
mented program of political poll
cies, international conventions and
appropriate notifications of the
criminal law of the various coun-
tries cooperating as the United
Nations" The international Court
he asserts, should be set up and
stated Immediately, so that by
the time of the Armistice it can
function smoothly.
He contends that more init
mate cooperation among nations
and the effective enforcement of
international justice are the only
projections against the suicide of
the human race. And no symbol
and instrument of closer cooper
alton of nations would be more
powerful than an International
Criminal Court performing its
duties fearlessly and with
scrupulous regard for justice and
fair play" He adds 'the knowl-
edge that official representatives
of the United Nations are work.
ing on some such plan should it.
self have a SOLDERING effect on the
Axis criminals and an encouraging
one on the rest of the world"
The fulfillment Of DR.. Glueck's
proposals would prevent a recur-
renee of what he calls "the tragi-
comic betrayal of justice" which
took place after World War I,
when alf-hearted efforts to bring
the criminals to trial collapsed.
Of 900 accused in the original
Allied list after the armistice was
signed in 1918, only As were in
cluded in the abridged test" list
finally presented; II were actually
tried; were actually convicted.
Later 80 additional individuals
were accused, but for the vast ma
jority there were no public trial
and only 6 of this group were con-
victed.
The record presents a challenge
to the free world today: Let us
make very certain that we do not
repeat the mistakes of the las
peace. Let US not forget, in the
exhilaration of victory, the brutal
of civilian populations,
the atrocities which move us now
to seek revenge.

POLICE REPORT BLAMES
CONDITIONS IN HARLEM
ON RECENT WAVE OF
MUGGING AND CRIME

New York (CNS) Mayor La
Guardia was sent this week a re-
port from the police department
which blamed the wave of Harlem
crime and mugging on the social
condition of the Negroes that live
in Harlem. Most Of the mugging
have been done by a~dolescents
and juveniles.
The Police Department has put
on heavy watching in Harlem,
which has taken away policemen
from other sections of the city,
adding Is extras. They also have
a special motorcycle squad to
make the streets safer at night.
"What we need, said one offic-
ial, ARE plainclothesmen working
in pairs who really understand the
people of Harlem and are sympath-
etic to their needs and desires.
Right now, we suddenly are alarm
ed because there have been sver-
al incidents in a short time. It
used to be worse, but no attention
is paid to that"
other police officials, taking the
larger aspects of the Negroes ex-
pansion from Harlem, pointed out
the constant discrimination that is
practiced against the race has a.
reused such a feeling ofresent-
ment that "some day the lid may
blow off" Lack of jobs, lack OF
adequate housing, lack of consid-
Grafton all are contributory factors
Its got to the point" said one
man thoroughly familiar with Har-
lem conditions, where anybody
would be foolish to go out on the
streets of Harlem at night unless
necessary"
AS far as could be determined
the report is vague on the many
critical aspects of the social prob
lems that affect Harlem and Negro
communities elsewhere in the city
and undoubtedly have a great deal
to do with criminal outbreaks.
However, veteran police in Har-
lem mince no words when they
say bluntly that the indifference
of some of the patrolmen contrib
ute to the problem.
