Abstract
THIS small book on criminology is a very interesting and well-composed account of the history of crime mainly in Great Britain. The conditions described even so recently as a hundred years ago will make many people's hair stand on end, and show how urgently penal reform was needed, and, for that matter, still is needed. The author, like many people of the present day, considers that capital punishment should be abolished.
Criminology.
